IIPON A VOICE VOT$, ALL VOTINQ AYE � CHAI1tPER80N BETZOLD DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIIBLY.
Ms. McPherson stated that Mar-Len Development Corporation is
proposing to split Lot 1 of the Mar-Len Addition into two parcels.
ANR Trucking is located to the south on Lot 3 of said Addition.
To the north is an empty lot and Springbrook Nature Center (is
located to the north and west). The area is currently zoned N2,
heavy industrial.
The proposed lot split would create a north/south division of Lot
1. There are several reasons for this to occur. Hickory Street
stops in the southwest corner of the parcel and is a paper right-
of-way to the northwest corner of this parcel. Where it stops,
there is a drainage ditch within the right-of-way which carries
runoff to Springbrook Nature Center. There are also drainage
ditches which run along the north and south sides of the ANR
Trucking site. There are drainage easements on the north, south
and west sides of Lot 1, and they are being used for drainage.
Because of the easements and the Hickory Street deadend, the
petitioner is proposing a north/south split. There is a potential
that Hickory Street could continue but this is not in the current
capital improvement plan. The petitioner is proposing there be a
private driveway easement of 20 feet to connect Parcel B with
Hickory Street. The zoninq code requires 25 foot width for any lot
access. Staff recommends that the easement be modified to 25 feet
before approval by the City Council. Both parcels meet the minimum
lot size requirement; however, there is still potential to divide
parcel A. Staff is concerned that the private drivway will not
handle the potential traffic should that occur. There is also
potential in the future depending on the development of the two
parcels of the lot split and a vacant parcel to the west of Hickory
Street that Hickory Street could be modified to a 10-11 ton road.
Staff recommends approval of the lot split with the following
stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall correct and have in recordable form a 25-
foot driveway easement prior to City Council approval on June
19, 1989;
2. A maintenance agreement concerning general upkeep and snow
removal for the private driveway shall be recorded against
both Parcels A and B prior to issuance of a building permit
on either parcel;
3. A park fee shall be paid prior to the issurance of building
permits;
4. A grading plan with stormwater calculations shall be submitted
and approved by staff prior to buildinq permit issuance; and
PLANNIN� COMMIBBION MEBTINa. JIINE 7, 1989 - pAG$ 3
5. A 60-foot public right-of-way shall be created and a public
road constructed should future subdivision occur.
Mr. Barna asked if there were restrictions on the type of business
that can go into the area.due to its location near the Springbrook
Nature Center and the creek.
Ms. McPherson stated there were none that she was aware of other
than the limitation for the driveway and for storm water control.
Mr. Dahlberg asked if the parcel abutted Springbrook Nature Center.
Ms. McPherson stated it does not. One parcel of land lies between
the Mar-Len property and Springbrook.
Mr. Barna asked if the City had restrictions for that area.
Ms. McPherson stated this particular parcel has been used as a fill
site and has no existing vegetation. There are no protected
wetlands on the site.
Mr. Dahlberg asked about the narrow strip of land to the south.
Ms. McPherson stated there is a 50-foot drainage easement. There
is an existing open drainage ditch that runs the length of the
parcel.
Mr. Dahlberg asked if the driveway could exist within the drainage
easement.
Ms. McPherson felt there was not enough room for that to occur.
Ms. Dacy indicated there was the need to have enough room to get
equipment in there to maintain the area. �
Mr. Dahlberg thought the driveway could be used as the access to
the drainage ditch for maintenance.
Ms. Dacy stated this would require a private easement on public
property.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he was under the impression that it would be
better for a land locked parcel to own a strip of land from it to
a right-of-way. In a situation like this, it is dependent upon an
adjacent parcel for access and could potentially create conflict
between owners. If on public property, that concern could be
eliminated.
Ms. Dacy stated that, depending on the petitioner�s viewpoint,
a 50-foot "flag" to Parcel B could be created.
PLANNING CO1rII�I88ION MEETINa, JIINE 7. 1989 - PAGE 4
Mr. Dahlberg stated the benefits are that the Betbacks are from the
property line rather than from the drainage easement.
Mr. Vanasse stated he talked with Mr. Flora, Director of Public
Works, about the driveway easement. Mr. Flora said there is
nothing stopping Mar-Len from putting in a concrete pipe and
covering it so it can be driven on. He thought it should be done.
Then there would be 75 feet to work with.
Mr. Barna stated that Lot 2 is still to be developed. There is
a possibility for an east/west street through the area; and there
is the possibility that if there were a road, the owners would be
giving up less land.
Mr. Vanasse felt that Lot 2 has full access to Main Street. If
Hickory Street were finished, it would have capacity of about 10
tons. The proposed property is for a contractor whose use would
be light industrial, parking and storage.
Mr. Betzold asked if Mr. Vanasse had plans for Lot A.
Mr. Vanasse stated he has a proposed use but is not going ahead
with that.
Mr. Barna asked if Mr. Vanasse also owned I�ot 2.
Mr. Vanasse stated he did. He has no problem with the stipulations
or the 60 foot right-of-way. He felt Mar-Len would qo ahead with
the priva� wouldeonl need 10 Wmore feet of road and then the pipe
future, i Y
could be put in.
Mr. Barna stated that

Mr. $arna stated in this fashion Parcel B would be a"flag" shaped
lot and would not be land locked.
Mr. Vanasse stated his proposal is to provide the right-of-way so
the owner of Lot A will not have to interfere.

conveyed a
PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETINa JIINE 7 1989 - PAQE 5
Mr. Vanassee thought there would be a problem. They have widened
the ditch and are using the full width of 50 feet of the easement.
Mr. Dahlberg felt that potentially the drainage ditch could be
narrower and still accommodate flow.
Mr. Vanasse stated that is where the sides of the ditch come in.
The slope is a problem. A larger area is required because they are
working with sand.
Mr. Dahlberg indicated his concern is based on a potential conflict
concerning use of the right-of-way and whether or not there is a
question.
Mr. Vanasse stated that, when property is owned with an easement,
it is the owner�s responsibility to maintain it. Mr. Vanasse
stated he would be willing to abandon it entirely if the owner does
not want it and release the easement to Parcel B so there would not
be a problem.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff will investigate that alternative as
well as combining the driveway access into the 50 foot easement
area.

public hearing.

easement issue, and provide alternatives or changes before the City

stay in contact with etaff regarding any questions.
2. CONSIDERATION OF OLD CENTRAL AVENUE CORRIDOR STITDY
Ms. Dacy reported that staff continued the corridor study and have
looked at Phase 2 north of Rice Creek north to the city boundary.
Phase 2 has a different character from Phase 1. This area does not
have some of the natural features as Phase 1, but there are some
things there that can be used to unify the corridor. The plan is
�
,
LANNINQ COMMI88ION MEETINQ JIIN$ 7 1989 - PAaB 6
to continue the Sportman's Highway theme, and continue the
boulevard improvement concept. Onan has boulevard trees which
continues the theme which could be continued all the way north to
Osborne. Basically, staff looked at the existing features, what
are the strengths and weaknesses, and what are the opportunities.
Ms. McPherson stated there is more vacant land to work with in
Phase 2 of the study. Onan has a campus-like atmosphere. There
are 8 parcels of vacant land available for development. Residential
areas are on the east, and a mobile home park and commercial on the
west. Most of the structures in this portion were built in the
early 1950's and 1960's, with a lot of development that occurred
in the early 1970's. There are two non-conforming houses on
commercial property.
Ms. McPherson stated one of the scenarios for the residential
alternative is to remove the Green building at Onondaga and
relocate the tenants. This parcel then could become single or
multi- family. The strip center would also be removed near the
southewast corner of Central and Osborne. The vacant lot to the
south would be encouraged to be developed into single or multi-
family housing. Access from Meadowmore Drive would be encouraged.
Also in the residential alternative, the mobile home park would
stay, but the non-conforming use on the northwest corner of 73rd
and Central would be removed. Businesses such as the trucking
station should be removed, and then this area could then
accommodate single or multi-family housing. This area has been
zoned light industrial for years and has had little or no
development interest.
Ms. McPherson stated south of 73rd there is an R-3 district and a
variety of commercial and industrial districts. In the residential
scenario, those buildings that are commercial or industrial to the
west of the R-3 would be rezoned to multi-family. In the
commercial scenario, staff recommends removing Determan Welding,
the junkyards, and the mobile home park; and encourage split zoning
with more commercial to the west and lighter industrial uses There
east. Staff has developed a plan regarding those parcels.
are two fairly new businesses which staff recommends would remain
as part of the redevelopment acheme. The parcels would develop in
such a way that the outside storage be to the center with the
buildings toward the road, and continue the theme of a boulevard
with a bikeway/walkway. In the relocation process, the roads would
be rocated clo er to Hwy.. 65I which would pr vide better access and
be 1
visibility for the restaurant.
Ms. McPherson stated south of 73rd, staff encourages more
commercial uses rather than residential.

�LANNINd COMMI88ION MEETING, JIINE 7, 1989 - PAaE 7
Ms. Dacy stated that Onan has requested the City evaluate assistinq
them in their project to expand their facilities in the Boutheast
corner of their site. Staff understands that Onan has a number of
facilities in the Cities and plans to consolidate them at the
Fridley� site. In order to do so, they need soil correction
assistance and sewer, water and street improvements. The HRA is
considering whether to modify the redevelopment district and have
a new tax increment district. This is also an opportunity to look
at other blighted properties in this area. Moving the mobile home
park has been discussed, but the relocation impact has not been
fully researched. On the east side, pick up those that are not
consistent with what is around it. The tax increment district is
smaller than the redevelopment district.
Ms. Sherek asked if this included Spiro, but not Limpro. She felt
both were substandard pieces of property and both should be
included.
Ms. Dacy stated both are excluded. She felt others were more in
need of redevelopment, but these can be reconsidered and the plan
can be revised. The staff wanted to minimize the number of
properties in the tax increment district.
Ms. Dacy stated the staff's recommendation is to: 1) in the
residential alternatives, rezone the southwest corner of Osborne
and Central to residential. 2) Connect the commercial strip center
on the southeast corner to single family or duplex. 3) Remove the
non-conforming junkyard south of the American Legion and combine
it be combined with the American I�gion or rezone as residential.
4) Create a campus business atmosphere, by extending the Onan and
Medtronic campus-like atmosphere, to create a saleable industrial
park. This includes removing the junkyards and developing a
� redevelopment scenario presented in`the packet.
Ms. Dacy stated that on the June 21 agenda, the Planning Commission
will consider an item regarding the use of the now vacant Kurt
Manufacturing building. A snowmobile sales and service business
is requesting to locate there. Staff advised them to rezone it
from M-1 to C-2. Staff feels the special use process may become
abused in order to get more commercial activities in an industrial
zone. Staff's recommendation is to start the pattern to go to
commercial, which may be helpful for redevelopment.
Mr. Barna asked if it would make more sense to take out the
residential on Norton to 73rd because Onan's and Medtronics are
located there and are commercial.
Ms. Sherek disagreed, stating this was a new area, less than 10
years old.
pLANNINa COMMIBBION M8$TIN6. JIINE 7. 1989 - PAG$ 8
Mr. Barna recommended to designate the strip from 65 to Old Central
as either very old commercial or residential, but felt a mix is
asking for continued problems.
Ms. Sherek stated that the area to the north of the Medtronic
parking lot is orphaned area, but not an area where buildings are
side by side with industrial. While she did not see this as
inappropriate, she didn't think any more residential needs to go
there. Rezoning to R1 or R2 the southwest corner on Osborne would
be difficult because of the commercial nature of the development
in that area, but otherwise commercial is okay. As a proposed
senior citizens site, the corner has a transportation problem. The
location is not that bad, but transportation is a problem.
Ms. Dacy stated that the site may be more appropriate for a"young
senior" project.
Ms. Sherek felt the site was level, traffic drops off and the area
has easy access. She did think gearing the area to the "younger
elderly" would be appropriate, but with cottages or appropriate
apartments and a convenience store.
Mr. Betzold stated that a course has been set when the truck
companies went in. He could not see putting any residential near
the commercial in that area.
Ms. McPherson stated the plan proposes that they relocate the
trucking firm.
Ms. Sherek felt that, if this were developed into a mobile home
park, it would fill in quickly.
Mr. Dahlberg recommended relocating or taking it all out, even from
Fireside to 73rd. That whole area could be developed as all� mobile
home park, but it would mean re-organizing. The current park would
not be able to stay in its existing configuration. This would mean
the park would have more logic to it.
Mr. Barna stated that mobile home park was meant to be temporary.
Mr. Dahlberg felt a mobile home park would make an i65 a anduf the
between commercial/industrial development on Hwy.
residential area on Olci Central.
Ms. Sherek felt the mobile homes at this site were in better shape
than the homes they face. Another need is for some kind of
convenience market or shopping area to accommodate hiqher density
housing, which could be located on the Osborne/Central area rathe=
than on Hwy. 65. This area would have traffic from Onan,
Medtronics, residents and mobile home park residents.
PLANNING COMMISSION ME$TINQ. JIINE 7, 1989 - PAa$ 9
Ms. Dacy asked if inembers would prefer to have the residential
orientation rather than create a business park or some other
configuration.
Mr. Rondrick stated he would rather have a business park than
mobile home park.
Mr. Betzold thought there was room for a mobile home park in the
area.
Mr. Dahlberg felt that single family residential would not work
east of Viking Chevrolet, but a mobile home park could work. It
could also act as a buffer between a commercial area and the
residential area to the east.
Mr. Barna felt the mobile home park satisfies a need and is part
of a plan to bring more low income, single family residences into
the city and would alleviate industrial development that is there
now and that is blighted.
Mr. Kondrick felt the area should be planned as though nothing was
there, and felt that it should be developed as a commercial/
industrial area.
Ms. Sherek stated that persons in the park are not transient, but
are long term residents. The park fills a distinct need. She
didn�t think there is a need to get rid of the park.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that a business park would sit empty for a
longer time than a mobile home development. Does the City want to
do this rapidly or have it develop over a long period of time?
Ms. Dacy stated there are time restrictions with tax increment
monies.
Mr. Dahlberg did not think it would develop in 10 years as a
business park.
Mr. Kondrick disagreed. There is no plan in this area. He stated
he thinks the area could be developed into a nice area.
Mr. Dahlberg thought business use or light industrial uses would
develop over a longer period of time than residential. Northco
Development is a planned business park and Mr. Dahlberg felt it
would not be filled in 10 years.
I�is. McPherson stated that, with the exception of recent
development, it seems that most of the City�s industrial
development has been taking place in the University Avenue corridor
rather than the Hwy. 65 corridor. The distance between the two is
not that great and there is access to Osborne and Hwy. 65.
pLANNINa COMMIBBION MEBTINa. JIINE 7. 1989 - PAGE 10
Mr. Barna stated that industrial property attracts other industrial
properties.
Ms. Sherek stated that, when an industry has two locations to
choose from, one in an industrial area and another near
residential, they are going to go to the industrial area.
Mr. Dahlberg thought there would be problems getting rid of the
mobile home park and felt that relocating it might work.
Mr. Barna suggested moving Tam's Rice Bowl to Highway 65 where it
would be more visible and accessible.
Mr. Betzold suggested leaving the group of mobile homes on Old
Central, but the group on Hwy 65 should be relocated to free up
that area for commercial and/or industrial development.
Mr. Dahlberg agreed and felt that the park could be expanded.
Mr. Rondrick agreed with exchanging the location of Tam's to Hwy
65 and the group of mobile homes.
Mr. Barna asked what the County would do with the crossover at
Fireside Drive.
Ms. Sherek indicated this would not be a problem because the
frontage road in that area could be completed if the mobile homes
are relocated.
Ms. Dacy asked for comments regardinq a business park north of
73rd Avenue after removing the existing junkyards.

Mr. Dahlberg stated there is a need for mobile home housing.
Some
communities feel that mobile home parks are an eyesore, but this
need not be so. He did not think that they are a bad alternative
and a good buffer. He recommended the zoning be high density, R-
3 to R-4.
Mr. Barna recommended R-4 because it fills all needs.
�LANNING COMMIBBION MEETING. J�NE 7, 1989 PAaE 11
Ms. McPherson asked if the commission would still want to continue
the boulevard improvement.
Mr. Barna stated, yes, this theme should be continued all the way
through.
Ms. Dacy asked for recommendations on the strip along Hwy. 65 to
zone to C-2 or C-3.
Ms. Sherk felt the snowmobile business should start that happening.
Mr. Dahlberg asked what would the improvements to the corridor
street improvements and boulevard entail.
Ms. McPherson felt the roadway would be maintained as is. The
right of way exists in order to do boulevard improvements
(including bike paths).
Ms. Dacy stated there is 28 feet of boulevard on either side of the
pavement.
Mr. Dahlberg also thought that the lights should not be too bright
adjacent to residential areas.
Ms. McPherson stated the intent was that on the bikeway it would
be a single qlobe in the residential section in a staggered
pattern.
Mr. Dahlberg commended staff for a nice job done on the study.

Ms. Dacy stated this item was presented to the City Council for

should be maintained as written. The owners are trying to upgrade
the property but Council felt it would not be consistent with the
intent of the district. No action is required.
The Commission felt that in the future, direction for the S-1

Ms. Dacy stated this was for informal discussion with the City.
It appears that Amoco is having problems with the MPCA as far as

Mr. Barna asked when will street straightening would happen.
Ms. Dacy stated the City would do the street alignment after the
sale of the property. This is a minor project and not a high
priority. The sketch provided is preliminary.
Mr. Barna had no problem with sale but thought the apartment owner
should absorb the relocation costs of the road.
Mr. Dahlberg stated the driveway is important in an emergears
situation. Regarding the proposed roadway alignment, it app
that the portion of the cul de sac will remain.
Ms. Dacy thought the driveway and curve will be left as is. It
would be more expensive to change.

REQUEST
.
The petitioner, Target Stores Inc., is proposing to store equipment
and materials on Lot 1, Block 1, Fridley Industrial Park Plat 1,
the same beinq 1090 - 73rd Avenue. This exterior storage is
necessary for the use of the site as a major warehouse and shipping
facility. Trucks and trailers will be parked temporarily, and
sometimes overnight. Pallet storaqe is also proposed in the
parking area in front of the buildinq.
SITE
The site is located south of 73rd Avenue in an M-2, Heavy
Industrial district. A R-1, Single Family Dwelling district is
located to the north of the site, and Locke Park, a Public
Facility, is located to the south of the site. Highway 65 runs
north/south along the east property line. More M-2 zoning is
adjacent to the parcel to the west.
ANALYSIS
The exterior storage would occur in the northwest and west pa�kinq
areas (see attachment titled "Landscape Plan". On the north
portion of the parcel, a 200 foot buffer area between the right of
way and the storage area will be maintained.
The petitioner will be constructing new wetlands as part of the
Army Corps of Engineers mitigation program, as well as a detention
pond to control storm water runoff. Within this 200 foot buffer
strip, much of the existing deciduous vegetation will remain. The
petitioner will be replanting the construction areas with plant
materials native to the area.
In response to resident concerns about direct sight lines into the
storage area, the petitioner has created a planting area at the end
of the service entrance drive. This drive is located directly
across from Jackson Street. Tall 8'-14' evergreens will be planted
in this plantinq area.
To screen the storage area from the proposed bikeway link to Locke
Park, a variety of evergreens 8�-14� tall will be planted. Some
of these same types of evergreens will also be planted alonq the
south wall of the building expansion. To break up the mass of the
building wall, the petitioner is proposing to plant Boston ivy
which will qrow up the side of the building.
Along Highway 65, the petitioner is proposing to plant boulevard
trees as well as bloominq vines on the fence. This wiil improve
the appearance of the site from Highway 65.

Page 3
To ensure the success of the everqreen plantings,
that no evergreens be planted after November 1
season. This is a common specification and is a
practice in the nursery industry.
staff recommends
of any �planting
widely followed
To prevent the plantinq of invasive exotic plant materials, staff
recommends that only plants native to Central Minnesota be used in
the followinq classifications: upland herbaceous, tall meadow,
short meadow, emergent mudflat, broadleaf marsh and floating. This
will ensure plant/habitat compatibility as well as to protect
Minnesota's native seed bank. This will also enhance wildlife
habitat.
RECONIlKENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request,
SP #89-10, by Target Stores Inc to allow outside storaqe with the
followinq stipulations:
1. No evergreens shall be planted after November 1, 1989 (or of
any planting season).
2. All plant materials used in the upland herbaceous, tall
meadow, short meadow, emergent mudflat, broad leaf marsh, and
floating categories shall be native to Central Minnesota.

ZOA #89-03, Ted Haines
Page 2
BACKGROUND
The site is zoned both M-1, Light Industrial, and R-3, General
A�ultiple Dwelling. The M-1 zoning exists on the west half of the
property. This portion has been oned M-1 since 1958. The east
half of the property was zoned R Sinqle Family. In 1963, the
�astern portion of the property a�zoned R-3, General Multiple
Dwelling. �(
In 1959, the City issued a buildinq permit for Minnesota Door
Company to construct the existinq structure.
In 1984, Kurt Manufacturing, the current owner of the property,
�nade several improvements to the buildinq and to the site. In
November 1984, the City approved a variance to allow a reduced
driveway and parkinq setback and approved a special use permit to
allow R-3 property to be used as a parkinq lot.
1�lso in 1984, Kurt Manufacturinq complied with MPCA requirements
to clean contaminated soils and groundwater on and beneath the
property.
�2EQUEST
The petitioner, Ted Haines, is requesting rezoning of the property
to operate a snowmobile showroom and dealership to be called "City
Spo=ts". Mr. iiaines currently owns Forest Lake Motorsports and is
the largest national dealership of Polaris snowmobiles. The
�petitioner also intends to sell small watercraft such as jet skis,
motorcycle parts or other small enqine parts in the future.
�lso proposed to be located in the buildinq is Mardies
�mbroidering. Mardies Embroidering stitches lettering on clothinq
and other garments.
Approximately six to eight employees are anticipated for the
snowmvbile operation and three to four employees for the
embroidering use. All activity at. this time is proposed to be
conducted inside the building.
The petitioner also intends to remodel the facade of the buildinq,
including repainting, removing the awninq on the front of the
building and installing display windows alonq the front of the
building. The petitioner is also considering installinq an eight
foot cyclone slatted fence for security around the property.
The building is 10,800 square feet. Mardies, Embroiderinq will
occupy 3,000 square feet. The showroom will consist of 3,500
square feet and the service area will be 3,000 square feet. The
remaining square footage will be office and storage areas.

ZOA #89-03, Ted Haines

�NTALYS IS
When evaluatinq a zoninq request, the City should evaluate the
intent and uses of the proposed district and evaluate its
�ompatibility with the adjacent uses and zoning.
6+Thile the adjacent zoning to the north and south of the subject
�property is M-1, Light Industrial, the character of the existing
u�ses are commercial. To the north of the site is an automotive
service station and a vacant parcel adjacent to the industrial
R�uildings farther east on 72nd Avenue. To the south are mobile
home sales and office uses. Rezoning the site to C-2 would permit
commercial oriented uses to occupy the site. Because other uses
are more commercial in nature, it should not have an adverse impact
on adjacent uses and zoninq. The area is also well separated from
the R-3 area to the east.
This rezoning application also initiates an effort to rezone the
�properties abutting Highway 65 to a commercial zoning, consistent
with initial discussions in the Old Central Avenue land use study.
There are other adequate vacant land parcels zoned industrial such
that the loss of M-1 zoning on these parcels would not constitute
a significant loss in available M-1 property.
1�lso, the subject property is split by two zoning districts. The
rezoning action would rectify this situation.
Existing Site Plan
The existing site has approximately 41 parking spaces in the rear
and up to ten spaces alonq the front of the building. This amount
of space is more than adequate to accommodate the proposed uses for
�he building. However, if the building were to be used by a more
retail oriented use occupying the entire 10,800 square feet, the
�oning ordinance would require 71 spaces (1-150 square feet).
A,dditional spaces could be provided on the site, however, providinq
71 spaces cannot be accomplished. The City Attorney has reviewed
this application and suggests that a stipulation be placed on the
approval that future tenants must prove that adequate parking
exists for the proposed use including the option of obtaining
additional cross parking easements with adjacent properties.
The ordinance also requires one space for every 200 square feet
for a speculative building. Using this ratio, on�y 54 spaces are
required. Given the location and nature of the site, staff does
�ot anticipate a parkinq problem at this location, but the
�tipulation as sugqested by the Attorney's Office is necessary.

The petitioner has also indicated an interest in acquiring the
property to the south which would also pzovide additional area for
parking. The petitioner has also indicated that an application for
outdoor storage may also be considered in the future, dependinq on
the volume of business that is to be conducted from the buildinq.
SUMMARY
Although the proposed rezoning request will create a C-2 district
surrounded by M-1 and R-3 zoninq, the proposed rezoninq is
appropriate for the existinq land uses and will initiate an effort
to convert the commercially used properties to a commercial zoninq.
The rezoning action will also rectify a split zoning situation on
the subject property.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend
approval of the rezoning request, ZOA #89-03, for 7191 Highway 65
to be rezoned from M-1, Light Industrial and R-3, General Multiple
Dwellinq to C-2, General Business, subject to the following
stipulation:
1. Future tenants in the building shall not receive a certificate
of occupancy until it is shown that adequate parking can be
provided for the proposed use.

BIIHJECT: Vacation of Obsolete Drainaqe and Utility
Ease�ents Y,ying within Certain Tracts of R.L.S.
#94 (SAV �89-03)
Attached please find a memo from Clyde Moravetz, Engineering
Department Assistant, outlining the history of the drainage
easements located on Tracts G, H, and I of Registered Land Survey
No. 94.
Drainaqe and utility easements were established on Outlot 1 of the
original Gena-Rae Addition. The property was then condemned by the
City as park land and R.L.S. �94 was recorded to establish the
easement riqht-of-way for Creek Park Lane. The original drainaqe
and utility easements were not carried through to R.L.S. �94, and
new drainaqe and utility easements were established when
development occurred on Tracts C, D, E, G, 8, and I of R.L.S. �94.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request,
SAV 389-03, by the City of Fridley to vacate obsolete drainage and
utility easements on certain tracts of R.L.S. �94.

8II&TECT: Outlot 1, Gena-Rae Addition Obsolete
Drainage and Utility Easements Lying
Within Certain Tracts of Registered
Land Survey No. 94
PW89-127
Perhaps the first place to start with regard to the above-
referenced property is to give a brief history of the proceedings
that have involved the property.
Originally, Outlot 1 of Gena-Rae Addition was platted with a
drainaqe and utility easement along the north and west six feet.
The next substantial proceeding that occurred with relation to the
property was the condemnation proceeding performed by the City of
Fridley establishing the property as park land. Registered Land
Survey Number 94 was performed to establish the easement right-of-
way for Creek Park Lane, which is identified as Tract J of
Reqistered Land Survey Number 94. 'Ehe creation of Creek Park I,ane
also created three remnant parcels of property north of Tract J but
still lying within the original bounds of Outlot 1, Gena-Rae
Addition. These tracts are identified on Registered Land Survey
Number 94 as G, H and I. (See attached map).
The City Council subsequently made a determination that the
property represented by Tracts G, � and I was ill-suited to be
maintained as park property and Ordinance Number 868 declared said
property to be surplus property and that the same could be sold to
a private individual. In the meantime, the six-foot drainage and
utility easement, as .originally set forth in the Gena-Rae Plat, had
not been eliminated by the condemnation proceeding, and had not
been carried forward in the Registered Land Survey Number 94. In
reference to the same, said six-foot drainaq� and utility easement
wrould now run along the northesn six feet of Tracts J, G and H.
3'hat same six-f�ot drairrage �.nei utility easement also runs the full
parameter of the original Outlot 1�hich would include the westerly
six feet of Tracts H, I and J and the easterly six feet ef Tract
�.
•

Page Two - PW89-127
The continued existence of the �ix-foot drainaqe and utility
easement encompassing Outlot 1 of Gena-Rae Addition �as brouqht to
our attention pursuant to the purchase by a Fridley resident of a
home located on Tracts D and H of RegiBtered Land Survey Number 94.
The question has been raised regarding the vacation of all or parts
of the original six-foot drainage and utility easement encompassing
Outlot 1 of Gena-Rae Addition. When the property represented by
Tracts C, D, E, G, H and I was developed by a private individual,
the City Council placed certain conditions on that development, one
of the most important beinq �ae fact that adequate drainage and
utility easements were provided. Those newly-established drainage
and utility easements ere established without reference to the
original drainage and utigity easement. In fact, it was not
realized at that time that the original six-foot easement was still
in existence. The fact that the subsequently-created easements are
adequate for drainage and utility purposes indicates that the
vacation of parts of the original six-foot drainage and utility
easements would be proper.
Recommend the City Council vacate the drainage and utility
easements affecting the mmortfl� 6 feet of Outlot 1, Gena-Rae Addition
lying within Tracts G and H of Registered Land Survey No. 94 and
the east one foot of the west 6 feet of said Outlot 1 lying within
tracts H and I of Registered Land Survey No. 94. (See attached
draft ordinance).
I further recommend the City Council: 1) Establish a public
hearing for July 10 at their meeting of June 19. The Planning
Commission can review the City initiated vacation at their June 21
meeting, 2) iia�e the first reading of the ordinance after public
hearing on July 10, 3) Schedule second reading for July 24.

Consideration of Proposed Zoning Ordinance
Amendment to Permit Churches in the M-1, Light
Industrial District
Steiner Development Inc. owns the IIniversity Business Center at
8000 University Avenue N.E. Attached is their written request to
permit a church, Northland Church Alive International, to occupy
8, 000 square feet of the buildinq. The property is zoned M-1 which
does not permit churches as either a permitted or a special use.
Staff advised Steiner Development Inc. that the Planning Commission
and City Council should review this item to determine whether or
not a zoning ordinance amendment process ehould be initiated.
ANALYSIS
Steiner Development Inc. provided information from the City of
Minnetonka t�here a church use is permitted in a multf-tenant
building owned by Steiner Development. The City of Minnetonka
permits a conditional use perm3t in an industrial zone for "other
uses similar to those permitted" in the district. Minnetonka
approved that application with the stipulations that the church not
exceed the requirements for retail space in the principle structure
(25$) .
Traditionally, churches are permitted in residential districts or
in designated quasi-public/institutional districts. In the City
of Fridley, previous policy for churches was that they could be
located in any district within the City. The ordinance was
subsequently changed to require their location in a R-1 district
with a special use permit.
Staff's initial reaction to this request was that a church activity
within industrial zoned buildinqs �ould displace other industrial
uses �rhich could occupy that area. Further, permitting a church
in the district would be contrary to the intent of the district to
provide areas for liqht industrial uses.

Zoning Ordinance; Churches
June 16, 1989

In 1987, the City amended the M-1 and M-2 districts to permit
commercial uses within multi-tenant buildings. Specific standards
were created to limit the amount of space commercial uses could
occupy within multi-tenant buildings. The intent of the ordinance
amendment process was to allow commercial uses which served
employees and other uses in the multi-tenant building. Limits were
placed on the commercial uses to prevent industrial buildings
becoming all commercial.
Using this as a guideline, the City could amend the industrial
districts to permit churches with the following stipulations:
1.
2.
3.
4.
They must be located within a multi-tenant building so that
a freestanding church cannot occupy industrial zoned land.
A maximum percentage of building area should be established.
A special use permit should be required to ensure that parking
and traffic activities do not confli�ct with other uses on the
site.
Requirements of the building code must be met.
5. The maximum
5,000 squar
square feet,
Center. It
square footage permitted for the retail uses are
e feet. This proposed application is for 8,000
or approximately 10� of the University Business
is hard to rationalize permitting a church use to
have more square footage than what is permitted for commercial
uses.
We surveyed the cities of Blaine, Brooklyn Park, Eden Prairie,
Edina, Hopkins, Plymouth, St. Louis Park, New Brighton, Columbia
Heights, Robbinsdale, Minneapolis and Roseville. Minneapolis and
Robbinsdale permit a freestanding church or a church use as part
of a multi-tenant building in industrial districts. The majority
of the cities reflect typically accepted zoning practices to locate
churches in residential or institutional zones.
In Brooklyn Park, churches were permitted
until it was found that they began to
industrial space. The City consequently
eliminate churches from the district.
RECOIrIlKENDATION
in industrial districts
occupy too much of the
amended the ordinance to
Occupying a multi-tenant buildinq is obviously a more cost
effective alternative for churches. However, churches are not
typically permitted in industrial districts. As in the case of
Brooklyn Park, siqnificant industrial space could be lost. The
experience in Minnetonka, however, portrays the opposite example.

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission not amend the
ordinance, however, should the Planning Commission determine that
churches should be permitted, staff recommends the ordinance be
drafted with the previously mentioned five standards.

Dear Barb:
As owners of the University Business Center located at 8000 University Avenue N.E.,
we are petitioning the City to allow a church into our M-1 zoned property. The church,
called Northland Church Alive International, is seeking a five year lease for approximately
8,000 square feet in the 83,700 square foot building, with immediate occupancy subject
to City approvals.
We recognize that current M-1 zoning makes no reference to churches, but we feel that
church use is not incompatible with our building. First, our building is zoned for a
multitude of uses, ranging from warehousing, to light manufacturing, to retail, to pure
office. Second, we have ample parking for the use, especially since the church's use
is at nights and weekends. Third, our building is adjacent to primarily commercially zoned
buildings, which by ordinance, a church is allowed. Fourth, we already have a church
in one of our multi-tenant buildings in an industrially zoned district of Minnetonka. We
have found that church to be a good tenant, neighbor, and citizen in our project and
Minnetonka.
I have enclosed a site plan which depicts the desired location in the project and some
history of Northland Church Alive International. If you have any questions, please call
me. We would appreciate a prompt and impartial hearing on this matter.
Respectfully submitted,

To Whom It May Concern:
In 1980 we started a church in Duluth. Also, we started outreach
Bible studies. As a result of the Bible studies we found a great
interest from the people in Grand Rapids. In 1981, we then esta-
blished a church in Grand Rapids which grew to 300 people. In
1982 we turned the church in Duluth to another pastor and we moved
to Grand Rapids. In 1988 we started a church in the Minneapolis
area. Many of our former church members from Grand Rapids had
relocated and expressed an interest in supporting a new church in
the Minneapolis area. Presently we are meeting at Armstrong High
School, Plymouth. We have 75-80 people in attendence. We are
presently looking to lease or purchase a facility here in the Twin
Cities area to house our church family. If you need any further
information, please don't hesitate to call.
Thank you,�
Dennis Theodorson, D.D., Ph.D.

TENETS OF FAITH
Covenant Ministries Intemational, Inc. was founded upon the following prin�iples and corniiciions�
and its programs, activities and operations will� at all times, be based upon t9ze same.
TENETS OF FAITH AN� DC�CTRINE
The Corporation accepts the Scriptures as the revealed vo�li of God, the all-st�°r'ictent r�lo of faith
and practice, and for the purpose of malntaining general uniry. s�opts these statements oi fundamen-
tal truths and doctrine. �
SECTION 1-THE SCRIPTURES INSPIR�t7
The Bible is the inspi�ed Word of God, a revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and
conduct, and is superior to consctence and reason, but not contrary to resVon (II'fimothy 3:15-17; I
Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12).
SECTION 2 -THE ONETRUE GODHEAD
The triune Godhead is comprised of three separate and dtstinct personalities; the Father� the Son
and the Holy Spirlt, who are etemalty self-exister�t, self-revealed and function as one entity, Jesus
Christ� wha is God manifested in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead, co-e�ital and co-
etemal wfth the Father and the Holy Spirit.
SECTION 3- MAN, HIS FALLAND REDEMPY'ION
Man was created good and upright, for God sald, °Let us make.�man in our tinac�e� after our like-
ness." But, man, by voluntary tranagression, fell and his on!y hape oi redemption is in Jesus Ch�ist
the Son of God (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 4.12-21j. '
SECTION 4-THE SALVATION OF MAN
A Man's Oniy Hope of RedempUon is Through the Shed Blood of Jesus ChrisL
P.9STORS: DR. DENNISR. & SYLT7A TNEDDORSON P.O. BOX34010, Minneapolis. MinnesotaSS434 612-757-2198
,.
On the cross, Jesus Christ became sin and sickness providing both salvaUon and div(ne healing
for all manki�, (Psalm 103:3) being justffied freely by His �grace through the redempUon thai Is in
Chr(st Jesus. For by grace we are saved through faith. 'The word is near you. tn your mouth and in
your heart - that is� the word of faith wh(ch we are preaching� that if you coMess wfth your mouth
Jesus ts Lo�d, ar� believe In your heart that God raised Him from the dead� you shall be saved; for
with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he corifesses, resulting
tn salvation" (Romans 3:24; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:8-10).
B. The Evidence of Salvatton
The irnvard evidence, to the believe� of his saivation, ts the dtrect w(tness of the Spirit (Romans
8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of �ighteousness and true holiness. •And thts ts His
commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Chris� and love one another. just as
He commanded us" (t John 3:23).
C. Faith and Works
Salvation is by faith tn Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works wql determine
the rewards in etemity (Acts 16:3; Fiomans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; Romans 14:20- 21;
and II Corinth(ans 5:10).
SECTION 5- BAPTISM IN WATER
The ordlnance of baptism by burial with Ch�ist should be observed, as commanded in the Sc�ip-
tures. by all who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed (n Ch�ist as Saviour and
Loni. In so doing, they have also been raised w(th Him to walk in newness of Itfe ((1Aatthew 28:10;
Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:40j.
SECTION 6 -THE LORD'S SUPPER
°And when He had given thanks, He broke i� and said. ihis is my body which is for you. Do thts
in remembrance of ine.' In the same way also the cup� after supper� saying� This is the new covenant
In my blood. Do this� as often as you drink i� in remembrance of ine.' Let a man examine himself.
and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup" Q Co�inthtans 11:24� 25. 28).
SECTION 7-THE PROMISE OFTHE FATHER
All believers are entiUed to� and should ardentiy e�ect and eamestly see, the- promise of the
Father, the bapttsm in the HQly Ghost and fire, according to the command of out Lord Jesus Cti�is�
This was the normai experience of ail in the early Christian church. With it comes the endowment of
power for life and service, the bestowmeM of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke
24:29; Acts 1:4-8:1 Corinthians 121- 31). �
SECTIONS-THEEVlDENCEOFTHEBAPTISM OFTHEHOLYSPIRIT
The full consummation of the baptism of be0evers in the Holy Spirit is eWdenced by the initial physi-
cal stgn of speaking with other tongues as the Spirft gives utferance. and by the subsequent manifes-
tation of spirituai power in public testlmorry and senrice (Acts 2:4;10:44-46;19:2-6;1:8).
SECTION 9 -THE CHURCH
The church is the body of Christ� the habitation of God through the Spiri� wiih di�rine appointments
fo�the ful�ilment of her great comm(ssion. Each believe�� bom of the Spirit� is an ir�tegral part of the
general assembly and church of the first bom� which are w�itten in Heaven (Ephesians 1:22; 2:19-22;
Hebrews 12:23).
SECTION 10 -TOTAL PROSPERITY

Jesus ts coming again to gather His saiMs to Heaven (I Corinthians 15:51-52; I Thessatonians
4:16-17: II Thessalonians 2:1).
SECTION 12 -THE LAKE OF FIRE
Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ w�l suffer etemal separat(on
from the Godhead. The devU and his angels, the best and the false prophet, and anyone whose name
was not found in the Book of Ufe� shail be consigned to everlasting punishment tn the lake of fire
which bums with brimstone. This is the second death� the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20; 20:10-15).
SECTION 13 -THE MILLENNIAL RE1GN OF JESUS
The retum of our Lord Jesus Christ with His SaiMs from Heaven to ntle and reign for one thousand
years on earth as the Scriptures promised (Romans 11:25-2T; II Thessalantans 1:7; Revetadon 19:11-
16; 20:1-�. After this, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth (RevelaUon 21). . ' .

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES
oF
COVENANT MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. MEMBERSHIP
Those considering membership in Covenant Ministries Intemational, Inc. may legit(mately Inqulre as
to what advaMages or beneids are to be derived by becoming a part.of the organization. Spec�ical-
ly, Covenant Ministries IMemattonai� Inc. plans to provkie:
1. Accountabtlity
Submission to authoriry is gravely lacking in the ministry. The sc�iptual concept is: "fhere can be
no authority whe�e there is no submisslon" (Matthew 8:&10). Accountability ts �eciprocai. CMI must
be accouMable to its members, and all members must be accountable to CMI. The founding trus-
tees of CMI are committed to this cove� Member churches/minisVies must complete a thorough
application which states that their mtnistry maintains complete and cuRer�t records and is in good
standing with the Intemal Revenue Service. This sets our accountability standards high, both to the
govemment and all others that may be concemed.
2. Blanket Coverage
CMI will offer a group tax exemption for a limited period of time for new churches/minist�ies. This
blanket coverage is from the beginning of a new church's/ministry's associatlon with CMI unt0 they
obtain their own tax exemption. CMI will help, by legal counsei, to provide the necessary steps in
the obtafning of the new minlstry's tax exemption. The member church/ministry is responsible to
report to CMI's accouMant Professional accounUng services can be prwided, but the cost will be
bome by the individual appiicartt. Further details can be obtained by calling the office.
3. Restoration Counseling
Our goai is to create a Galatians 6:1 atmosphere of restoration. Restoration counseling wiil be im-
mediate and ongoing in the areas of FAMILY COUNSEUNG and MINISTRY COUNSELlNG. HoUines
are already established to handle ail member counseling in strictest confidence. We will expand our
help to non-member counseling as time permits.
4. Avenue ofi Licensing and Ordination
Ucensing and ordination wili be.established upon a recommendation and supporting documenta-
Uon basis. However, the scriptural pattem we vin'il foilow is "lay hands on no man suddeniy" (I Timothy
2
�
�
,
5:22). Applicants must be sponsored by a member of CMI, and thei� appiications will be reviewed.
They may also be asked to complete a Bi�icai knowledge tesK. Educationai requirements, as well
as other standards, will be established. CMI wql recognize and bansfer a p�ior ordtnation that is
deemed �eciprocal by the Credenttals Committee.
5. Mediation
CMI wili medlate an a scriptural (not legal) basis regarding decisions and problems that affect the
local church. CMI wUl not seek to set rules within the local church and wpl not be responsibie for the
Implemerrtation or the direction of arry decisions by this mediation service.
6. Equity
CMI wQl estal�lish a group health and life insurance programs at favorable rates, retireme�t and
IRA plans and other equity benefits for CMI members i.e. credit unlon. CMI believes that members
should share (n the prosperity the Lord has for each of us and shed the unsc�iptural poverty men-
tality in the ministry.
7. Missions
CMI has a heart for missions and the spreading of the Gospel throughout the worid. CMI wUl pool
resources and ministries for a truly united missions effoK. Member ministries will send healing teams,
evangelists, Bible teachers and medical missionary teams to take the Gospel of Jesus Ch�ist to the
wo�id.
8. Communication
Regular periodic coRespondence and materials designed to help the church/ministry fulf�l its mis-
sion and vision wiil be abailable.
9. Certificaiton of Traveling Ministries
Representatives available for ministe�ing on a local level.
10. Edification
Representatives from the local to the state level coordinating organization events and activities,
and keeping all members informed through conespondence, corrtacts, inspiration and the general
promotion of group feilawship.
11. International Convention
An annuai i�ematfonai cornrention at a location to be announced.
The benefits enumerated above, upon analysis by the ir�e Christian, certainly shoutd provide more
than enough inceMive to become a part of Covena� Minist�ies IMemational. Inc. However, perhaps
the greatest benefitts to be derived by becoming a part of this Ch�istian organization are those to be
obtained through the i�erad(on with your fellow Ch�istian. For exampie. the sharing of e�cpenise, .
Ch�istian experiences and love. and playing a general part in the promotion of a Christian way of Iffe,
all may provide rewards to the individuai far �yond anything that one might obtain of a material na-
ture.

CONSZDERATION OF PRESENTATIONS BY APPLICANTS FOR 19$9 CDBG FUNDS:
Ms. Sherek stated the purpose of this meeting is to qet answers
tothe questions raised by the Commission and to have the
organizations briefly give an outline of their proqram and funding
request.
North Suburban Consumer Advocates for the Handicapped -
Jessie Ellingworth, Executive Director
---------------------------------------------------
Mr. Ellingworth thanked the Commission for the opportunity of again
appearing before the Coaunission to request CDBG Human Services
� funding. He stated N.S.C.A.H. has certainly appreciated the
Commission's support in the past.
Mr. Ellingworth addressed the questions asked by the Commission:
1. How many Fridley residents have you served in each of the two
previous years, and how did you determine that number?
Mr. Ellingworth stated N.S.C.A.H. is not a direct service. It is
a self-advocacy group, and really deal primarily with Anoka County.
However, what happens in one community often helps another
community.
Mr. Ellingworth stated that several years ago in the National Year
of Disabled Persons, a survey was done in Fridley which figured 18�
of the people in Fridley have a disability of some kind. He stated
N.S.C.A.H. generally uses the 10� fiqure as the number of people
disabled in the community. As the community gets older, there will
be a greater number of disabled persons. Forty percent of people
aged 65 and older will have some form of disability.
_ Mr. Ellingworth stated since N.S.C.A.H. is an issue-oriented group,
they talk about transportation, housing, and education for the
disabled. They help not only the disabled person, but also
, concerned friends and relatives.
Mr. Ellingworth stated that through the school districts in
Fridley, they have distributed brochures requesting membership in
N.S.C.A.H. to try to get more parents involved with the issue of
disabilities.
2. How would a computer enhance the services provided by your
organization, especially to the residents of Fridley?
Mr. Ellingworth stated they know a computer will benefit Fridley
and more than just Fridley. The City of Fridley is not being asked
to fund the whole cost of the computer. The computer could benefit
BPECIAL $UMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 3
their total output, whether it is the budget, newsletter,
brochures, etc. At first, they talked primarily about a word
processor, but now they almost need a computer with more
capability. They are still concerned about "information and
referral information", and could computerize all that information
and share it with other people who are doing information referral
services.
Mr. Ellingworth stated that right now they are getting financial
assistance from Anoka County, but N.S.C.A.H. needs to start
becoming independent. ACCAP will help with computer training.
3. Have you solicited any of the vendors of computers for a
donation of equipment?
Mr. Ellingworth stated he has not done so directly. They can get
a discount through the County and school district. He checked with
ACCAP personnel who said they never heard of an company actually
donating equipment. He stated he has been involved with a National
Center developed by IBM, and anyone with a disability can get a
computer at 50� discount. He stated the Courage Center is the
local distributor. So, legitimately, he could purchase a computer
in his name and then after a year or two donate or sell it to
N.S.C.A.H.
Mr. Ellingworth stated that as far as seeking other sources of
funding, if they should get CDBG money from the City of Fridley,
then the Lionesses of Coon Rapid might be able to help, and he has
other sources of funding in mind also. It is easier to seek other
funding once a City has donated.
Ms. Sherek stated Mr. Ellingworth cannot use to purchase a computer
from the Courage Center in his name. The computer must be
purchased by the non-profit organization. She was not thinking of
approaching IBM as much as investigating the clones which are a lot
cheaper than the IBM's and many of them are just as good. As far
as software, the organization should first analyze what they need
before buying software.
Mr. Oquist asked how many people would be working with the
computer.
Mr. Ellingworth answered the clerical assistant, the project
coordinator, volunteers, and himself would be using the computer.

Edna Ruedebusch, Site Supervisor of Toy Lending Library
�------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL HUMAN RESOIIRCES COMMI88ION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 4
Ms. Ruedebusch stated both the Toy Lending Library and the Drop-in
Center were established in the fall of 1987. The Toy Lending
Library is available to anyone in Anoka County with children aged
0- 6 with or without developmental disabilities. A family is
allowed t e chealsout haver some f�adaptive�� equipment • foresi�he
toys, th y
developmentally disabled.
Ms. Ruedebusch stated the drop-in center is for young adults and
teenagers, so they have a variety of ages that come to the drop-in
center and a variety of groups of people. There are some people
who live independently, people who live at home with families, and
people who live in large and small group homes. The center has one
room that has video games, pool tables, ping pong, etc., and other
room for crafts and table games. She stated she also takes these
people to other communities for community awareness.
Ms. Ruedebusch answered the following questions asked by the
Commission:
1. How many Fridley residents have you served in each of the two
previous years, and how did you determine that number?
Ms. Ruedebusch stated that in 1987-88, they had 20 Fridley families
registered at the Toy Lending Library, and in 1988-89, they had 22
families registered at the Toy Lending Library. There is a total
of 132 families using the Toy Lending Library at this time.
Ms. Ruedebusch stated that in 1987-88, they serviced five Fridley
people at the drop-in center, and in 1988-89, they serviced seven
Fridley people. With the drop-in center, some come on a regular
basis and some only come once a month or every two months. She
does send schedules to 25 families in the Fridley area. The
schedule contains a currently monthly calendar of activities at the
drop-in center.
2. What is the status of the toy stock? What is the condition
of the toys in stock? Are materials being returned?
Ms. Ruedebusch stated their inventory is valued at $14,000. About
one-half the toys were donated by DAC which has closed its infant
and preschool program. DAC also donated a lot of the adaptive
equipment needed for the developmentally disabled. Every time the
toys are returned, they are washed with bleach water to sterilize
and clean the toys.
3. Specify the number of children using the Toy Lending Library
who are developmentally delayed Fridley residents.
SPECIAL HIIMAN REgOIIRCEB COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 5
Ms. Ruedebusch stated seven families out of the 22 Fridley families
have developmentally delayed children.
4. From what other sources are you seeking funding? Are you
requesting funding from other cities in Anoka County?
Ms. Ruedebusch stated their total committed amount at this time is
$17,500. Funding has come from IDS, American Express Foundation,
IFG Dane Bosworth Foundation, Graco Foundation. The cities of
Spring Lake Park, Coon Rapids, Blaine, and Columbia Heights have
donated for the two programs, and Columbia Heights has donated
funding for another service. They anticipate $1,900 from Toy
Lending Library memberships, and other dorrations from service clubs
will total $10,000.
5. How much are you requesting from the City of Fridley for toys
and the drop-in center, and how is the $2,900 determined?
Ms. Ruedebusch stated the amount requested from Fridley is $2,900.
This represents 10$ of the total budget for the two projects. The
residents of Fridley comprise 13� of the total users, so the
contribution is not as much as the Fridley people using the
programs. They will be spending $1,000 on new equipment. They
have a lot of equipment in the Library that are expensive that low
income families cannot afford, so the money will go for adaptive
equipment and higher priced equipment. One thousand dollars will
go for adaptive equipment, and $900 will go for staff supervision
which is her salary.
Ms. Ruedebusch stated Pam Sawyer and Donna Ossman are users of the
Toy Lending Library and are Fridley residents.
Ms. Sawyer stated her son, Jacob, 6 months, has been using the Toy
Lending Library for about two months. He uses everything from
adaptive toys to the regular infant toys. She stated the Toy
Lending Library gives her a great variety of toys to choose from.
The Library provides a great service in that parents can experiment
with toys their children might favorably respond to without having
to buy expensive adaptive toys. She would like to see more
positive reinforcement-type toys for smaller children.
;Ms. Ossman stated she has been using the Toy Lending Library for
�about one year. There is a good variety of toys, even for the
��lder children. Parents do not want to have to spend a lot of
�money on expensive toys, and some toys are just too big to purchase
;and keep for a long period of time. The Toy Lending Library gives
�the children the opportunity to try a variety of toys without great
��xpense to the parents. She stated that with the ecology and more
��nd more plastics in the environment, it is nice to know that there
BPECIAL HIIMAN 1tESOIIRCEB COMMI88ION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 6
are toys that can be recycled. Also, the Toy Lending Library is
a fun place for children to go.
Family Life Mental Health Clinic -
Lucy Mickman
-----------------------------------
Ms. Mickman stated the Family Life Mental Health Clinic is a
private, non-profit mental health facility that has been in the
Anoka area since 1977. They have a staff of about 12
professionals. Right now, they are the only agency in Anoka County
that is doing general assistance medical coverage for psychiatric
patients, because private psychiatrists are no longer doing this
because the funding is very low.
Ms. Mickman answered the questions asked by the Commission:
1. How many Fridley residents have you served in each of the two
previous years, and how did you determine that number?
Ms. Mickman stated the number is determined by patient
demographics. From July 31, 1987, to June 30, 1988, they served
25 Fridley residents; and from July 31, 1988, to December 31, 1988,
they served 23 Fridley residents.
2. How many people from Fridley receive reduced fee or free
counseling?
Ms. Mickman stated that from July l, 1987, to June 30, 1988, 18
Fridley people received reduced fee or free counseling; and from
July 1, 1988, to December 31, 1988, 20 Fridley people received
reduced fee or free counseling.
3. Describe the type of Fridley resident you serve and the type
of service you provide. Also, provide the typical number of
sessions per individual.
Ms. Mickman stated they serve the following types of Fridley
residents:
8.7� - under age 18
60� - between ages 19-40
31� - between ages 41-64
30� - males
69� - females
170 - female head of household
SPECIAL $UMAN REgOIIRCEB COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 7
Ms. Mickman stated the types of services they provide are
individual (the majority of services), day treatment programs for
the serious and persistent mentally ill, daily living support
programs (very extensive and cost prohibitive which meets 3 one-
half days a week), group sessions, men's groups (one dealing with
abuse physical behaviors), women's groups (particularly dealing
with women who have been abused), and marriage and family therapy.
Their practice is largely psychiatric practice. They have three
part-time psychiatrists right now. The average number of sessions
is 4.5 visits.
5. What is the purpose of the increasing fund balance, and what
is it used for?
Ms. Mickman stated the fund balance is excessive assets of
liabilities. Due to the increased volume of business, they bill
out more but collections trail and their expenses go up. Their
reimbursement is slow. About 60-65� of their income is general
medical assistance, so it can take up to six months and 3-6
billings to receive the money. It is very difficult and very
expensive to deal with this form of assistance.
Ms. Mickman stated the philosophy of the Clinic funded in 1977 has
always been to serve people based on need, regardless of income.
Ms. Mickman stated they have no budget reserves or rainy day fund.
The only way they would ever realize a fund balance would be if
they closed their doors. If they could ever conceivably convert
the cash for operating expenses, it would be used for facility
improvements which are badly needed.
Ms. Mickman stated the fund balance for the end of 1986 was
$38,554; for the end of 1987, it was $45,465; and for the end of
1988, it was $75,680. This reflects the growth in patients served
and it is primarily accounts receivable.
6. What is the item called "donated" under Patient Revenues?
Ms. Mickman stated this is the services of one of their
psychiatrists who donates 8-10 hours a week for low income people.
7. What are the program projections for the Family Reunited
Program, specifically, costs revenues, staffing, and the
number of people to be served?
Ms. Micl�►an stated this is a family sexual abuse program. The
purpose of the program is not only to treat the offender, but to
try to unite the family again. There is no treatment program that
includes whole family members in the north suburban area, and
Family Life Mental Health Clinic was asked by social workers,
SPECIAL AIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 8
courts, and probation officers to start this program. It is a very
intensive program. They hope to get the program started in October
lggg, and it will serve the offender, the adolescent victim, the
pre-teen victim, and the non-offending parent. The goal for this
year is to serve 20 families. Of that, they estimate about 40
family members will be served. Reimbursement will come from fee-
for-service. Unfortunately, there really is no third party
reimbursement fund for a program this intense. They will have to
offer a sliding fee for these people. They have checked and there
is no money in the court system or probation system. They have
written a grant to the Department of Corrections for start-up
funds, but have heard nothing at this time.
Ms . Mickman stated the total budget they are proj ecting for the
first year is about $42,000. This would include salaries and
additional rental space, more equipment, office supplies, office
overhead, staff training, marketing to the courts in the system.
They are projecting four part-time staff which would include a
part-time program director.
Mr. Oquist asked if funding comes from any other sources.
Ms. Mickman stated they are a Rule 29 facility licensed by the
State of Minnesota to get reimbursement from most insurances (not
HMO's). Before they get any public funding, they bill out for
insurance. People who do not meet the financial guidelines pay a
negotiated fee, and they bill general medical assistance. They do
get funding from Anoka County and from the Cities of Blaine and
Anoka.
Ms. Mickman thanked the Commission

Clinic in the past.
Ms. Melnycheno stated she had prepared the following responses to
the questions asked by the Commission:
l. How many Fridley residents have you served in each of the two
previous years, and how did you determine that number?
lgg7-88 - We served a total of 56 Fridley residents and provided
them with 375 counseling sessions and psychiatric
appointments.
1988-89 - Projected since we only have statistics through the end
of April 1989.
SPECIAL HUMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 9

of 80 Fridley residents and
counseling sessions and
The figure is unduplicated clients - all clients who receive CDBG
funding have individual, unduplicated forms filled out. The forms
indicate how many persons are in the family and our quarterly
statistics indicate how many people attended therapy.
I based the number of insurance and Medical Assistance clients seen
on percentages similar to those of clients utilizing CDBG funding
since the members should be very similar.
2. How many people from Fridley receive reduced fee or free
counseling?
In 1988, 36 persons received reduced fee or free counseling. Of
that number 6 persons were utilizing Medical Assistance and no
funding from Fridley was involved in payment. The remaining 30
persons qualified for CDBG funds.
In 1988, 45 persons received reduced fee or free counseling. Of
that number, 8 persons utilized Medical Assistance for their
counseling. The remainder qualified for reduced fees and were
funded in part by CDBG funding.
3. Please provide a financial statement for 1988.
Ms. Melnychenko provided the Commission members with this
statement.
4. Did you receive United Way funding in 1988 and 1989? If not,
why not?
North Suburban Counseling Center did not receive any United Way
funding in 1988 or 1989. On repeated occasions several years ago,
�we submitted applications to the United Way requesting funding for
out-patient mental health. On each of those occasions, we were
rej ected because they base the funding of new pragrams on their
�system of priorities and only fund new programs that are their
first priority, occasionally they will fund a second priority
�program. Mental health, over the past several years, has been a
�much lower priority. Their top priorities over the past several
�Years have been programs for chronic malnutrition (food shelves),
��rograms specifically treating child abuse and neglect and adult
��buse and neglect programs.
:3ince the United Way funds over a few new programs a year and they
inust be one of their highest priority programs, we inquired as to
i:he worth of our continuing to submit applications. They informed
SPECIAL HUMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 10
us that they would be happy to receive the application, but that
their policy of funding only the highest priority areas made it
very unlikely that a mental health program would be funded at this
time. We have not submitted an application because it is a
tremendous amount of work and they were frank with us in saying
that we most likely wouldn't be funded.
Mr. Oquist asked how many total families North Suburban serves.
Ms. Melnychenko stated Fridley has been currently running between
8-12� of the total, so using 10�, with 80 Fridley residents, and
multiplying that times 10, there are approximately 800 served by
the Center.
Mr. Oquist asked if North Suburban receives funding from any other
sources.
Ms. Melnychenko stated, yes, they do. North Suburban has been in
existence in Anoka County providing out-patient mental health
services since 1972. They were formerly affiliated with the City
of Coon Rapids and ended that affiliation on friendly terms in 1985
separating the counseling program from the entire Human Services
Department of the City of Coon Rapids and setting up a private non-
profit agency. It was their feeling they could do better
financially and not continue to rely heavily on Coon Rapids for
subsidization.
Ms. Melnychenko stated the City of Coon Rapids has been very
supportive so they do continue to receive funding from Coon Rapids
on an annual basis. They receive funding from Anoka and Blaine,
as well as Anoka County. Anoka County gives funding to provide
services to low income people who do not have medical assistance
or insurance. They also have psychiatric care, and they have a
branch office in St. Francis so they some provide funding for the
clients there.
Ms. Melnychenko stated, again, 40-50� of their caseload is with
people who have health insurance and medical assistance and are not
using a sliding fee scale. Their full fee for service is $70, and
they have been working for a negotiated reduced rate of $58.
Ms. Melnychenko stated they provide individual, couple, family, and
group counseling.
Ms. Melnychenko stated they have a very good working relationship
with the communities and appreciate past funding from the City of
Fridley.

Cathy Otto, Coordinator of Senior Outreach Program
Lois Doody, Executive Director
-------------------------------------------------
Ms. Otto thanked the Commission members for this opportunity to
speak to the Commission about their request for funding. She
answered the following questions asked by the Commission:
l. How did you come to be serving seven Fridley residents?
Ms. Otto sated they are currently serving seven Fridley residents.
These people became involved through newspaper, publications,
senior newsletter, and a lot of "word of mouth" from personal
friends who have outreached to others.
2. Describe the duties of the outreach coordinator. What portion
is the coordination of the Senior Kinship Program?
Ms. Otto stated she is the Senior Outreach Coordinator. She
recruits and screens seniors and monitors the match. The goal of
the program is to match on a one-to-one basis an adult to a senior
or a senior to a senior. She outreaches to seniors through senior
centers, churches, and senior housing. She attends meetings with
the Kinship unit, and she does networking with the community.
Publicity is a big part of her job.
Ms. Otto stated that since she assists Ms. Doody with the funding
of the program, she helps identify sources for funding, she writes
proposals and cover letters and does follow-up. She is totally
responsible for the senior portion of the program.
4. How did you arrive at the $3,000 request to serve the
residents of Fridley, with a$9,200 budget?
Ms. Otto stated they

Ms. Otto stated she does home visits. She does activities once a
month with the seniors which ordinarily is free to the seniors.
For the first six months, she volunteered her time without pay, and
then received a grant from the Care Loan Foundation. She is hoping
the funding they get from the City of Fridley will encourage other
foundations to give.
4. How does your accounting system ensure that the $3,000 would
go directly to the Fridley residents?
SPECIAL HUMAN RESOIIRCES COMMI88ION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 12
Ms. Otto stated she averages 30 hours a week, which is divided
among the Anoka area. She assuming the $3,000 would add about 400
more hours that can be devoted to Fridley residents. The money
won't increase with the number of increased seniors as the program
grows. If it takes more than 30 hours a week, she is willing to
do that.
5. From what other sources are you seeking funding?
Ms. Otto stated they are receiving funding, through their own
efforts, from Honeywell, Amherst and Bush, IDS Financial Services,
local churches, local businesses, and community organizations such
as the Jaycees and Rotary Club. She is going to be getting funding
from Andover, and the City of Coon Rapids has been supporting their
program since the beginning.
6. What is the total Kinship program?
Ms. Otto stated she had brochures that explained both the senior
portion of the Kinship program and the children portion of the
Kinship program. However, the money being requested will go
totally for the senior portion.
7. Provide us with a 1988 budget.
Ms. Otto stated there was no 1988 budget, because it was a new
program and she volunteered her time.
RISE, Inc.
Don Masterson, President of the Board of Directors
-------------------------------------------------
Mr. Masterson stated the purpose of RISE, Inc., is to provide
employment opportunities and employment training for mentally
retarded and mentally handicapped individuals in Anoka, Northern
Hennepin, and a small portion of Ramsey Counties. They have
submitted a proposal to the City of Fridley for a$5,000 grant
which they will use for equipment in support of their current $1.9
million capital fund drive.
Mr. Masterson stated he would address the questions submitted b the
Commission:
1. How many Fridley residents do you serve?
Mr. Masterson stated they serve 119 Fridley residents in one
program or another. It is a pretty number, in part because some
of their community base employment training is located in Fridley.
SPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 13
They have two businesses in Fridley that provide employment
opportunities: Pappy�s Foods and Skywood Inn.
Mr. Masterson stated one of the things that brought the Board of
Directors to the capital fund drive was a waiting list of several
hundred people to get into their organization. They decided if
they were going to serve the clientele, they needed to expand the
organization. They estimate if the capital fund drive is
successful, they will be serving 148 Fridley residents by 1993.
2. What specifically do you want to fund with your request for
human services fundirig from the City of Fridley?
Mr. Masterson stated it would be for equipment in support of the
capital expansion program. They understand the CDBG monies cannot
be used for capital projects, but they also need telephone
equipment and other equipment for the expansion program. They
expect that equipment will total around $175,000 before they are
done.
3. If you received CDBG monies, would the money be expended by
December 31, 1990? -
Mr. Masterson stated there is no question but that the money could
be expended by Dec. 31, 1990. He stated they are in a position to
respond to the guidelines and work with the City to make the
program work.
4. From what other sources are you seeking funding, and how much
are you requesting from other sources?
Mr. Masterson stated in total they are looking for $1.9 million.
They currently have $750,000 either contributed or committed. The
two biggest contributors are the McKnight Foundation and the Bush
Foundation from the 3M organization. In terms of municipalities,
the following communities have contributed:
Coon Rapids - $22,000
Blaine - 10,000
Spring Lake Park - 7,000
Columbia Heights - 5,000
Mr. Masterson stated smaller communities have contributed lesser
amounts. He believed the monies from the municipalities are from
CDBG Economic Development funds. Apparently, there were no CDBG
Economic Development funds available from the City of Fridley.
Mr. Westby asked what the $1.9 million would be used for over the
next 3-5 years.
SPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 14
Mr. Masterson stated the majority of the money is going into a
building expansion in the facility in Spring Lake Park, which
includes the procurement of some land and the expansion of the
building for a shelter workshop. In addition, at the present time,
they are leasing space on Central Avenue near Lowry Avenue, and it
is their intention to replace that space with purchased property
to keep the organizational costs lower. The final expense is to
upgrade their fleet of vans.
Mr. Westby stated that the services RISE provides are going to
generate income. How is that income handled?
Mr. Masterson stated they are a non-profit organization, so they
attempt to run the organization at break-even. In 1988, they went
in the hole about $30,000, but the 6-7 years prior to that, they
were able to put some money away for the upcoming capital fund
drive. He stated the people in this program are paid according to
their work capabilities.
Mr. Westby asked if RISE did not provide this service, who would?
Mr. Masterson stated there are other organizations like RISE, but
RISE is the largest opportunity workshop in the State of Minnesota.
He supposed if there were no private opportunities for providing
this type of work opportunities for the mentally disabled that it
would become a public burden.
Ms. Sherek asked the approximate number of people who are able to
live independently through the support they have received from
RISE.
Mr. Masterson stated there are approximately 150-175 people per
year who leave the sheltered employment and go into nonsubsidized
employment, but he did not know how many are able to live
independently after going through the independent living program.
Community Emerqency Assistance Proqram (CEAP) -
Ed Eide, Director
Kathy Tonding, operates office in Anoka County
---------------------------------------------------
Mr. Eide stated CEAP was founded in 1970. It started in Brooklyn
Center at the request of about five churches in Brooklyn Center.
It was run out of a woman's home for a number of years and as it
increased in size, it moved from place to place before moving to
its present free-standing building in 1980. He was hired in 1981.
He stated they have been in Anoka County since 1985. In the summer
of 1986, three of the large Catholic churches--Epiphany, St.
Stevens, and St. Timothy, got together and asked him to make a
BPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 15
brief presentation on CEAP's services. CEAP had been doing
services in Anoka County but had been doing it out of the Brooklyn
Center office. The churches liked what CEAP was doing and asked
if they could close their food shelves and financial assistance
programs and join CEAP and help CEAP open an office in Anoka
County. CEAP did that in 1987. He stated they are located across
from the Springbrook Nature Center on 85th Avenue N.E.
Mr. Eide stated their services in Anoka County are primarily
financial assistance with some financial counseling involved and
a food shelf. They serve all Anoka County. The churches and the
Board of Directors were very adamant that there be no specific
boundaries and that they serve all of Anoka County.
Mr. Eide and Ms. Tonding responded to the questions raised by the
Commission:
l. Are your currently serving any Fridley residents? If so, how
do you determine that number?
Ms. Tonding stated, yes, they are serving Fridley residents. They
keep financial statistics in a computer by zip code. The food
statistics are separated by city. Currently, out of the dollars
spent on loans and grants, the Fridley residents amount for 17� of
those dollars, and the Fridley residents assisted were 16� of the
total families. So, 73 families out of the 455 families helped
with financial assistance are Fridley families.
Ms. Tonding stated that regarding the food shelf portion, they
started in 1987 with 7$ of the total being Fridley residents, and
now 17$ of the total are Fridley residents.
Mr. Eide stated they have a good working relationship with ACCAP
and Anoka County Social Services Department. Because they are
partially funded and the primary membership of the Board of
Directors comes from member churches, they do not have the red tape
the County has, and the County likes that.
2. What portion of funding goes to shelter expenses and what
portion goes for food?
Mr. Eide stated all of the $5,000 requested will go toward
financial assistance. It will pay rent and utilities for the
people who live in the City of Fridley.
Mr. Eide stated to date in their current budget (fiscal year is
June to July) , their expenses have been $500, 000 at both locations.
Of that, $52,000 has been paid out in rent and utility payments.
If they include food and other needs in that figure, the total
SPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 16
amount is $75,000. They have spent about $7,500 this fiscal year
on food as food donations are declining rapidly.
3. Are grants or loans also given? Do you receive any money
back?
Ms. Tonding stated the Anoka County office has two pots of money
they draw on. One is CEAP funding. When they assist people with
CEAP funds, they have people fill out a loan agreement. It is
requested, but never required, that they pay back the loan.
Ms. Tonding stated that as far as grants, once or twice a year they
have available to them FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)
monies. If it is block grant money, that goes to all the counties,
and ACCAP runs that and gives them a portion. For this grant
phase, they received $4,000 for utilities and $8,000 for shelter
costs. That is free and clear with no payback.
Ms. Tonding stated in the almost two years they have been ope

of 455 families they have helped, 10 families have paid in full
26 families are making payments. Out of $50,000 in loans,
have recouped $2,487, which is really good in 1/2 years.
repayment goes into a pot of money that goes directly back t
clients.
4. From what other sources do you request funding?

All
o the
Mr. Eide stated one mandate he was given by the Board of Directors
when he was hired was to ensure no dependence on any single source
of funding for the organization. They are a United Way Agency, so
the bulk of the dollars they use for financial assistance comes
from either their member churches or United Way. They have 27
member churches. They have received funding from Anoka County
($10,000), individual donations, service club donations, and
business donations. Their operating budget is approximately
$650,000 a year, and $181,000 comes from United Way. They have
another program funded by the McKnight Foundation called the Single
Parent Loan Program, where they have $150,000 to make loans to
single parent head of households to help them maintain or gain
their independence. Most of those loans, because of the area CEAP
serves, are used for the purchase of cars to get people to and from
school or to and from work.
5. Why are you seeking funding from Fridley?
Mr. Eide stated they are requesting funding from Fridley because
the funds are available. He stated that regardless of whether CEAP
receives any of these funds, he liked to see the CDBG money going
for something other than "bricks and mortar", and he commended the
' SPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 17
Commission members for that. He stated there are a lot of cities
that use their CDBG monies for nothing but "bricks and mortar".
Mr. Eide stated that they find that every time FMC lays off
employees, they are hit immediately with people who are in debt,
sometimes so deeply not even CEAP can help them. This CDBG money
will allow them to shift some of the other dollars to people who
do not live in Fridley and help more families.
Mr. Eide stated their average has been around $250 per family, so
they will be able to help about 20 families stay in their homes.
Ms. Sherek asked if they find a lot of the same people coming back
for help.
Ms. Tonding stated they have very few repeaters with the financial
assistance program. Out of 450 families assisted, only 2-3 have
been helped more than once. Regarding the food shelf, about 52�
of the families are returns.
Ms. Sherek asked if CEAP coordinated with other food shelves in
Fridley.
Ms. Tonding stated they are in contact with SACA and do refer
people to SACA, but they have not contacted St. Williams food shelf
at all.
Southern Anoka Community Assistance -
Jan Jolly, President of the Board of Directors
Len Celusnak, Secretary of the Board of Directors
---------------------------------------------------------
Ms. Jolly stated that SACA is going through a transition period
right now. Rosemary Byrnes retired earlier this year, and the
Board has been trying to do most of the work (filling in with part-
time people) while looking for a new employee. They recently hired
a permanent full-time employee, Marilyn Peters, to replace
Rosemary.
The following answers were prepared for the Coinmissions questions:
1. How many Fridley residents have you served in each of the two
previous years, and how did you determine that number?
1987 - 689 Fridley residents served out of a total of 1,864
1988 - 740 Fridley residents served out of a total of 1,734
Approximately the same numbers were served at the Christmas
distribution.
SPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 18
These figures were taken from official minutes of SACA, and some
are estimates.
2. Provide a copy of the actual annual 1988 statement or budget
that shows income and expenditures for 1988.
The 1988 annual statement was given to the Commissioners.
3. What days and hours is SACA actually open and staffed?
SACA is open five days a week, Monday through Fridley, from 8:00
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They have one full-time employee (replacing
Rosemary Byrnes) and one part-time employee who works 35 hours a
week. They have volunteers who come in on a regular basis and some
who come in at random.
4. Do you ask for money from any other communities? CDBG funding
or other funding?
Ms. Jolly sated Columbia Heights furnishes the building and pays
all utilities except the telephone. They have not approached
Spring Lake Park for funding as the number of people they help from
Spring Lake Park is very small. They receive $20,312 from Anoka
County, $10,000 from the Minneapolis Food Bank (Steve, is this
riqht? ), and $10 , 0 0 0 f rom ACCAP . They have a good support f rom the
churches, Lutheran Brotherhood has done some fund raisers with
matching funds, and they receive individual donations. H. B.
Fuller Company has been a good contributor. They get donations of
merchandise and toys from Target and K-Mart.
Ms. Jolly stated they have met with Mr.'Eide and Ms. Tonding from
CEAP and have been discussing ways they can work together. Marilyn
Peters, their new employee, has an agreement with CEAP to check
with each other so there are not people abusing the programs.
Mr. Westby asked how SACA differed from CEAP.
Ms. Jolly sated SACA and CEAP are very similar; however, CEAP has
more resources and employees than SACA.
Ms. Jolly sated they are trying to give more balanced foods, so
they are buying some of the foods.
Mr. Celusnak stated they encourage people to use food coupons and
to utilize Food Share to try to get them to start helping
themselves.
St. Williams Church -
SPECIAL HIIMAN REgOIIRCEB COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - pAGE 19
Joan Ragen
------------------------
Ms. Ragen had prepared answers to the Commission's questions:
1. How many Fridley residents have you served in each of the two
previous years, and how did you determine that number?
"I keep track of the number of Fridley residents we serve and tally
them at the end of each month for the Minnesota Food Bank and also
for you. The totals for April 1987 through April 1988 are 1,127
families and 3,977 individuals."
2. Provide a breakdown budget for the food shelf operation.
Include inkind donations of food and other items, but not rent
and utilities.
"We have spent $1,764.97 for food so far this year, and donations
of food, bread, etc., from parishioners and other churches. Our
cash income is $3,554.00."
CCW - $ 300.00
Anniversary Celebration - 205.00
PAB - 255.00
Knights of Columbus - 375.00
St. Philips - 591.00
N.E. Suburban Branch - 100.00
Fridley Crafters - 500.00
Fridley Covenant - 67.00
Individuals - 1,161.00
Food Share - 636.26
"We will need to buy a lot of food for summer months as donations
are low then."
Ms. Sherek asked if Ms. Ragen coordinated with the other two food
shelves operating in the area: SACA and CEAP?
Ms. Ragen stated she is in contact with the other food shelves
mostly at holiday times unless she suspects people are repeating.
Ms. Sherek asked if the need for food has gone up or down.
Ms. Ragen stated it has gone up just a little bit. They used to
serve 30 families a month and now it is closer to 40 families a
month.
Alexandra House -
Pat Prinzevalle, Director
SPECIAL HUMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 20
Janeen Melmer, Community Education Volunteer Coordinator
Bob Friis, Fridley Police Officer and Board Member______
------------------------------------
Ms. Prinzevalle stated what is different this year about their
proposal is the money will be utilized to provide funds to their
Community Education Program. They do quite a bit of community
education programs and professional in-service training in Anoka
County communities. They estimate that 12� of the Fridley
community is part of their community education effort in talking
about domestic violence and Alexandra House.
Ms. Sherek asked what specifically is provided through community
education.
Ms. Melmer stated they respond to and are proactive in being able
to go out and talk to groups in the communitiy. One of their
largest audiences are through churches. They speak to whole
congregations, sometimes special concerns committees, women's
groups, and other groups within the churches. They also speak to
community service groups such as the Rotary Club, Lions Club, etc.
Ms. Melmer stated their children's program has done education in
every high school and junior high school in Anoka County. Through
the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women, they are now working
with a curriculum they developed to reach some of the elementary
schools in Anoka County.
Ms. Melmer stated they work closely with hospitals, medical service
providers, and are doing some professional training with them.
They have worked with clergy in Anoka County, and one of their
target groups is to reach the elderly in Anoka County. They work
with various groups that provide services to seniors such as the
senior outreach workers.
Ms. Prinzevalle stated the types of presentations vary. The
presentations range from the issue of domestic violence and what
the Alexandra House is all about to dating violence for junior high
school and elementary curriculum.
Mr. Westby asked how much of the $3,500 requested will be used for
updating the slide show presentation and purchasing a new slide
projector.
Ms. Prinzevalle stated the $3, 500 being requested will not fund the
whole amount of updating their slide show presentations and
purchasing a new Caramate projector, but it will be used in part
to assist in the funding of these two things.
SPECIAL $UMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 21
Fridley Senior center -
Connie Thompson, Senior Center Coordinator
----------------------------------------------
Ms. Thompson stated she had prepared responses to the Commission's
questions. She has also given the Commission some information on
the Senior Companion Program, the advertising done to recruit
senior companions, and a letter of support dated April 5, 1989,
from John Pribyl, Director of the State Senior Companion Program.
1. How did you assess the need for this kinship program?
"We assessed the need through numerous conversations with agencies
such as the Anoka County Public Health Nursing (Jo Tollefson),
Anoka County Community Action Program (Elaine Vangerud and Nancy
Jorgenson), the Minnesota Senior Companion Program (John Pribyl),
and the Ebenezer Society (Carol Sonnenberg). We also called a
county-wide informational meeting and received enthusiastic support
from those attending.
"It should also be noted that a'kinship' program does not define
our request. Our concern is more in keeping older adults
independent and at home, in addition to providing respite care to
the primary caregiver."
2. How would this program interact with the senior outreach
worker?
"This program would increase services available to older adults in
our community, especially in the area of respite care. Respite
needs are not currently being met in the City of Fridley with the
exception of expensive home health care. It does not duplicate
current senior services or senior outreach services. The Outreach
Worker would assist our program as a referral source along with
Unity Hospital and Anoka County Public Health Nurses."
3. Are you familiar with the Kinship Program in operation in Coon
Rapids which also serves some Fridley residents?
"Yes, we are. As a matter of fact, we have assisted their program
in recruiting volunteers and clients. Their past emphasis has been
an intergenerational approach and visitation while ours would be
peer interaction and respite care."
4. How did you calculate the amount of your request if you want
$650 per companion and you are asking for two companions?
"Under G-Description of proposed service, we indicated our request
was for two senior companions plus administration expenses. Under
K-Program Budget, we listed an itemized program budget. CDBG funds
SPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 22
would pay for two senior companions' expenses of $650 ($1,300),
supervisor and miscellaneous expenses of $1,200. Total expenses
of the program amounts to $6,900 of which $2,5009 would come from
CDBG funds."
Ms. Thompson stated the Senior Companion Program is a federally
funded program through ACTION, and there is a Minnesota State
Senior Companion Program. The State program will help assist the
Senior Center in training and recruiting senior companions.
Ms. Thompson stated a major study done by Metropolitan Council for
Anoka County as far as services for older adults listed
transportation, daycare, and respite care as the primary priority
items that need to be addressed in Anoka County. Transportation
is taken care of very nicely in Fridley with the transportation
worked out with the Lions Club. In fact, they just received a new
bus with a federal grant. Daycare is a very major program and is
something the Fridley Senior Center and Senior Management Board are
looking at, but they felt they could address the primary concern
at this time which is respite care.
Ms. Thompson stated there is no respite care program with the
exception of very high priced home health care through private
agencies, and they are not meeting the need for the Fridley senior
population. The Senior Center looked at different ways they could
help with respite care, and they felt the most successful program
they saw was the Senior Companion Program. It ties in with federal
and state funded program and has experience in recruiting and
training top notch people and the funds are available, but there
is still a need for assistance from the sponsoring agencies.
Ms. Sherek stated she thought they might have more referrals than
companions, at least initially, and how will people be prioritized
as to gets senior companions?
Ms. Thompson stated they will probably have to look at the
situations where there is the greatest need. Since their priority
for the program is respite care, that would be the #1 priority.
Probably the second priority would be to assist with the hospital
short term visits. The other areas of errands, shopping, and
visiting can usually be handled by Befriender programs, Kinship
programs, and other sources that are out there.
Ms. Sherek asked if Ms. Thompson would consider funding and
visiting individuals who are not seniors with this program.
Ms. Thompson stated if either of the individuals in the home are
seniors, they will deal with the situation. A senior is aged 55
and older.

Ms. Jorgenson stated the position of the Fridley Senior Outreach
Worker is to help the senior citizens of Fridley continue living
independently in their homes as long as possible. Referrals are
through social service agencies. Primarily, she sees low to
moderate income seniors, and she did an intake on 220 people whom
she visited in their homes. She stated she sees quite a few more
seniors in the Fridley Senior Center, Congregate Dining Program,
and various social clubs. It is very difficult to do an intake in
these situations, and it is very difficult to have any
confidentiality with the clients in the existing Senior Center.
Ms. Jorgenson stated that because she is well known in the
community, a lot of seniors do not want her to come into their
homes or meet her at the Senior Center. For that reason, and for
a number of other reasons, she has given her notice and will be
resigning as of May 31, 1989.
Ms. Jorgenson stated she believed the City is going to have to find
some more space, even if it is at City Hall for a couple of hours
a week, for visits with clients so there is some client
confidentiality. That is one of the reasons why the intake numbers
are not higher. She is available at the Senior Center at 11:00
a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. for the seniors. On one occasion,
she even ended up doing blood pressures.
Ms. Jorgenson stated she has received some comments from people on
why the need for a congregate dining coordinator, why a senior
citizens's drop-in coordinator, and why a senior outreach worker?
They are three separate and distinct functions, but yet they all
work in cooperation with each other.
SPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 25
Ms. Jorgenson stated the position of Senior Outreach Worker that
was created five years ago has changed considerably. Five years
ago the Senior Outreach Worker went into people � s homes and did
fuel assistance. Anoka County Social Services cannot handle the
number of clients and senior outreach workers get more and more
referrals from Anoka County Social Services. The position has
become more of a mini-social services worker. With the increase
in job responsibilities and duties, there has not been an
considerable increase in salary. She started at $4.79/hr. in
October 1987. She received a 20 cents per hour increase when she
finished Befriender training and remained at that salary until she
got an upgrading in status with the agency from Grade 3 to Grade
4. Under the current employment status, she is not eligible for
a salary increase until approximately March 1990. She cannot
financially afford to remain in this position, and she is afraid
whoever comes into this position will have the same problem. The
grant is for 24 hours a week, but they have asked for additional
hours to 30 hours a week. The reasoning behind this is that it
would make the senior outreach worker eligible for benefits through
the company. They need an individual that will get into the
program and stay with it. It is very difficult to gain the
confidentiality of the seniors, follow through on their needs, and
the ability to maintain that.
Ms. Jorgenson stated they are seeing a greater percentage of low
income seniors in Fridley. The need is definitely there for a
senior outreach worker, and she did not see that need decreasing.
Little Voyaqeurs� Montessori school -
Karen Smith
Anna Sevy
---------------------------------------------
Ms. Smith stated Little Voyageurs' Montessori School has been in
existence since 1982.
Ms. Smith answered the Commission's questions:
1. How many Fridley residents do you serve?
Ms. Smith stated in the past, 40-500 of the children in the school
are from Fridley. For this school year, it is about 34�--11
Fridley children are enrolled in the school.
Ms. Smith stated they are currently licensed for 40 students, 20
in the morning and 20 in the afternoon. This year is the first
year they have gone to a summer program. The daycare portion goes
year around.
SPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 26
2. How much tuition assistance for low income families would be
for the preschool or the daycare center or both?
Ms. Smith stated their concern is more for the Montessori School,
as a lot of people can go to other daycare facilities. They like
to think they are unique in what they of fer in Montessori . They are
the only Montessori School in Fridley and Columbia Heights,
although a Montessori School will be starting in a private home.
Ms. Smith stated their goal is to help self esteem for children,
and the Montessori program in a hands-on program. The program is
designed for each individual, and the children progress at their
own rate. The older children help teach the younger children. The
doors for Montessori opportunities are not always open to low
income families. They want to be able to give children from low
income families this extra opportunity.
3. How much is your tuition?
Ms. Smith stated the tuition is $155/month for 5 days a week;
$125/month for 3 days a week. For the daycare, they do not charge
by the day; they charge on an hourly rate in order to give the
parents as much flexibility as possible. The daycare hourly rate
is $1.60/hour and it is charged to the 1/4 hour.
4. How do you envision distributing the $1,000? How can we be
sure you are helping low income families?
Ms. Smith stated that people who are in need usually inquire if
some assistance is available. They then fill out an application.
Little Voyageurs has a committee of three people who look over the
applications, and they go by the HUD and Anoka County guidelines
for low and medium income people. The people have to meet those
guidelines, and the amount of assistance depends on their income.
It is not full tuition, but partial tuition assistance.
Ms. Smith stated they are also on Anoka County's sliding fee
program, so with the sliding fee program, they have also helped
subsidize from their own funds, as long as with some fundraising.
5. If you are servicing low income families, what about
transportation needs to get the child to the program?
Ms. Smith stated most parents do have transportation. Sometimes,
they will arrange carpooling if it is necessary, but transportation
has not really been an issue.
6. Are you requesting funding from other sources and other
communities?
SPECIAL HIIMAN RESOIIRCEB COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 27
Ms. Smith stated they have requested funds from other cities. They
work with Anoka County through the sliding fee program. They also
do some fundraisers through the school. This money has been used
to help subsidize some low income families. Over the past few
years, they have had some transitions where they have been asked
to relocate. They are currently in the process of working with
Crestview Lutheran Home to implement an intergenerational program.
Crestview wants them there for therapy for their adults and Little
Voyageurs wants to be there for the children. Through the
intergenerational program, they are hoping to benefit both sets of
people. After this arrangement stabilizes, they hope to raise more
funds for tuition aid. They hope to become independent with their
tuition aid, but right now they need the funds to subsidize low
income families.
Ms. Smith stated Little Voyageurs received money from Columbia
Heights last year, and this year they got overlooked because there
were some other priorities for CDBG funding.
Central Center for Family Resources -
Vicki Klaers, Board of Directors
----------------------------------------
Ms. Klaers stated she was at the meeting in place of Lee Carlson
who had a family emergency.
Ms. Klaers stated Central Center for Family Resources is about 10
years old and was established with Federal funding through Spring
Lake Park because they found there was a need for dealing with
juveniles and adolescents who have come from troubled families in
which there was neglect, abuse, either physical, sexual, or
chemical.
Ms. Klaers stated they just recently moved into a new building just
south of the Spring Lake Park City Hall on 81st Avenue N.E.
Ms. Klaers stated Central Center deals primarily with adolescents,
but they also include family counseling because family members are
usually involved. Most of the problems involve some kind of
chemical dependency on the part of th� adolescent or parent. There
is special emphasis as far as preventative measures in dealing with
very young children.
Ms. Klaers stated Spring Lake Park, Fridley, and Blaine are the
three principal cities they serve.
Ms. Klaers addressed the questions asked by the Commission:
SPECIAL HIIMp►N RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING MAY 18 1989 - PAGE 28
l. How many Fridley residents have you served in each of the two
previous years, and how did you determine that number?
Ms. Klaers stated that 20� of the families served are Fridley
families. The carry-over clients are not broken down by cities.
2. How many people from Fridley receive reduced fee or free
counseling?
Ms. Klaers stated 35 Fridley people received reduced fee or free
counseling from Nov. 1988-March 1989. These are clients who have
no third party payer regardless of income standards. It is also
important for the Commissioners to know that no one is turned away
due to inability to pay.
3. How much time is spent with families of teenagers after a
crisis versus earlier identification of problems and
intervention? Is this program preventative or patchwork after
a crisis, and how is the program working?
Ms. Klaers stated this is a very difficult questions, because they
cannot mandate a person to stay in a program or make people come
to followup sessions, so there are families who drop out. This is
also a difficult question because there are so many multiple
problems: chemical dependency, learning disabilities, family
violence, abuse, etc.
4. How many referrals do you get from elementary schools?
Ms. Klaers stated 124 out of 292 referrals were from schools. She
believed this included the middle school and elementary schools.
She stated the biggest numbers come from Spring Lake Park, but the
numbers of referrals are growing in Fridley. They also get
referrals from the court system, and these subsidies come from
Anoka County.

a. Revfew CDBG Proposals/Determine Fundinq Recommendations
Ms. Sherek stated the Commission members must make
recommendations on the CDBG funding, and this
recommendation will go to the City Council on July 10,
1989, for their final recommendation.
Ms. Sherek stated the funding requests total $53,124 and
the CDBG ft��c�s available total $34, 068.
Little Vovacteurs' Montessori - reauestinct 51.000
Ms. Sherek stated it appeared that, at best, they would
be funding two individuals, and she did not think that
was a broad enough spreading of CDBG funds.
The Commission members agreed to not recommend any
funding for Little Voyageurs' Montessori.
The Commissioners stated if the Council agrees with the
Commission's recommendation, Little Voyageurs' should be
informed that because the number of Fridley residents
served would be so limited, plus the fact that funding
for low income families for daycare is available through
the County and since daycare is part of the Montessori,
Little Voyageurs' should be encouraged to pursue other
funding avenues.
Anoka Countv Association for Retarded Citizens -
�questinct S2 , 900
Ms. Jackson stated this organization did not seem to want
the money specifically designated for adaptive equipment
only. She stated the Commissic�� has no�. really been able
tQ ide�tify that the money used fox toys� really helps low
income people or handicappe� ge�ple, except last year
when the Commission specifiec� that the CDBG funding was
for adaptive toys only.
Ms. Sherek stated she felt more inclined to fund or
partially fund the drop-in center, simply because there
is a total lack of that kind of resource. The drop-in
center is being us��ci by people with a very special need
that is not otherwise being s��ved.
Ms . Sherek stated she did not think AI2.C' s user fee is
very high either--$10 a year per family for the kind of
toys that are being borrowed is not a reasonable user
fee. She also did not think ARC has tapped the volunteer
resources they should for raising funds.
HUMAN RESOIIRCES COMMISSION MEETING, JQNE 1 1989 PAGE �
Ms. Sherek suggested the Commission recommend funding
$1,000 to ARC, specifically designated to the drop-in
center.
Mr. Oquist, Ms. Jackson, and Mr. Westby agreed.
�Torth Suburban Kinship Program - requesting S3 000
Ms. Sherek stated she would not recommend funding for
this organization. At the May 18th meeting, even though
Ms. Otto said the program is serving seven Fridley
seniors, she also said that at the monthly meetings, she
has a typical attendance of eight seniors out of 40+
seniors. Ms. Sherek stated she really questioned whether
this kind of an effort is providing enough of a benefit
to justify this kind of an expenditure.
The Commissioners agreed to not recommend any CDBG
funding to the North Suburban Kinship Program. This
program is similar to the Senior Companion Program
proposed by the Fridley Senior Center; however, the
Senior Companion Program will be located in Fridley and
is a more in-need program.
RISE - requestincr 55 000
The Commissioners agreed that although RISE is a very
worthwhile organization and RISE's capital fund drive is
a worthwhile project, the Commission's position is to
specifically fund human service needs, not capital
equipment; therefore the Commission is recommending no
funding to RISE.
Fridlev Senior Center - requesting 52 500
Ms. Sherek stated she felt the Fridley Senior Center
should be fully funded for the Senior Companion Program.
After reading the proposal, she found that the Senior
Center is getting about three-quarters of the funding
from other sources. The program is targeting people who
are seriously in need--companionship, visiting, respite
care.
Mr. Oquist stated this also is a program serving solely
Fridley residents.
The Commissioners agreed to recommend funding the full
amount requested, $2,500, to the Fridley Senior Center
for the Senior Companion Program.

Ms. Sherek stated that typically in the past, the City
rias f�nded the Senior Outreach Worker with CDBG funds.
Everything she is heari.ng is that this is almost the last
year for CDBG funds, and they have to start thinking
about what is going to happen to the Senior Outreach
Worker if there are no CDBG funds next year. For now,
should ACCAP be looking for another source of funding,
or should the City fund the Senior Outreach Worker for
one more year and warn ACCAP to look for other funding
in the future?
Ms. Sherek stated that because of the senior population
in Fridley, the Senior Outreach Worker does provide a
valuable service, but the question is: Is it worth 20�
of the total CDBG funds available? It is her personal
opinion that the Senior Outreach Worker spending one day
a week at the Fridley Senior Center is a duplication of
services.
Ms. Sherek stated that when the City first started
funding ACCAP for the Fridley Senior Outreach Worker, the
Fridley Senior Center was very small. Now the Senior
Center is a full time center largely funded by the City,
and there are other organizations within the City that
can serve a lot of the needs of seniors that were not
being met before.
Ms. Sherek stated one of the functions of the ACCAP
worker was to take fuel assistance applications from the
seniors, and she did not think those funds are going to
be available after this year, because it is an item that
has been totally cut out of the federal budget. If that
is part of the rationale for needing the Senior Outreach
Worker, that is going to be a lesser need. She would be
comfortable recommending funding at last year's funding
level and then encourage ACCAP to find another source of
funding (service organizations in Fridley that have large
senior memberships).
Mr. Oquist suggested that funding be recommended for less
than the full amount reqc�ested.
The Commissioners agreed to recommend funding $6,000 to
ACCAP for the Fridley Senior Outreach Worker.
The Commissioners wanted ACCAP to know that the
Commission does not want to cut the funding for the
Fridley Senior Outreach Worker off cold, but does want
�AN It$SOIIRCBB CO1�Q[IBBION I�E$TINa. JIINB 1. 1989 - PAGE 5
ACCAP to re-evaluate their resources in liqht of the fact
that there might not be any CDBG funding in the future.
North Suburban Consumer Advocates for the Handicapped
�'ewesting S1.500
Ms. Sherek stated she �rould not recommend funding for
NSCAH. She stated she did not think NSCAH has a clear
picture of what they want to do with a computer. She did
not think NSCAH has explored any other avenues of
possibilities for acquiring a computer. Also, last year
the Commission turned down the part of NSCAH�s request
for a computer to be used for doing the Accessibility
Guide, and she did not think they should turn around this
year and allow the funds to be used for a computer,
especially when they seem so unsure about what they want
and really need.
Ms. Jackson agreed with Ms. Sherek. She stated that if
the City Council agrees with the Commission's
recommendation to not fund NSCAH, NSCAH should be
encouraqed to write to companies or other organizations,
because she is sure someone will be willing to donate a
computer to NSCAH just for the tax write-off.
The Commissioners agreed to not recommend any CDBG
funding to NSCAH.
The Commissioners stated that if the City Council aqrees
with the recommendation made by the Commission, NSCAH
should be encouraged to contact vendors for a donation
of a computer or to contact businesses to find a retired
computer that might still be usable. In addition to the
City of Fridley, NSCAH should notify every other
government agency in Anoka County that they are looking
for retired usable computer equipment.
�ommunitv Emeraency Assistance Program (CEAP) -
tec�uesting S5, 000
Ms. Sherek stated she seriously questioned recommendinq
any funding to CEAP. Mr. Eide from CEAP was very honest
in stating that the reason they were applyinq to Fridley
for CDBG funds is because the funding is available. In
looking at the numbers, it is costing $70 for each
Fridley resident they serve. That is ten times �hat it
is costing to serve a Fridley resident at SACA. CEAP
served 75 Fridley residents last year as opposed to the
740 Fridley residents SACA served last year and about
1,000 at St. Williams.
Y
QMAN RESOIIRCEB COMMISSION MEETING. JIINE 1. 1989 - PAG$ 6
Ms. Sherek stated CEAP provides a different service than
St. Williams, but CEAP is very similar to SACA in terms
of providing rental deposits, utilities assistance, etc.
Ms . Jackson stated one reason she would want to give some
money to CEAP is because of its location in Anoka County.
It serves the northern end of Anoka County. It is a long
way to SACA from the northern end of the County.
Ms. Sherek stated that based on the number of people
served as compared to St. Williams and SACA, she would
be willing to recommend a lesser funding.
The Commissioners agreed to recommend funding in the
amount of $1,000. This funding amount is in proportion
to the number of Fridley residents CEAP is serving in
proportion to the other Fridley emergency services.
Alexandra House - requestinct 53.500
Ms. Sherek stated Alexandra House is providing a valuable
service to the City of Fridley. Alexandra House has
always been real frank with the Commission in admitting
that they will manage if they are not funded, but the
funding allows them to provide an extra service. Because
it is the only shelter in Anoka County, the Commission
has always felt strongly about recommending funding.
Mr. Oquist stated what he likes about Alexandra House is
they are not staying within themselves, they want to
reach out with a training program, to try to educate
children what abuse is. This is good.
Ms. Jackson stated she liked that the request is not for
operating funds. The funding is for a certain project.
The Commission members agreed to recommend funding of
$3,500 to Alexandra House.
Central Center for Familv Resources - rectuestinct 55,000
Famil� Life Mental Health Center - rectuestinct 55.000
North Suburban CounselinQ Center - rectuestinct 55.000
The Commission members agreed to fund the full amount to
Central Center for Family Resources due to the larger
amount of child counse].ing provided, and then to divide
the remaining funds between Family Life Mental Health
Center and North Suburban Counseling Center.

a. consideration of orientation Information tor New Human
Resources Commission Members
Mr. Barg stated this was discussed briefly at the April
meeting. He stated the orientation information would not
have to be excessive or formal, but just information on
what the Commission is, what it does, and how it
interacts with the Planning Commission and City Council,
and the structure of the City.
Ms. Sherek stated she would also like to see included a
description of every commission and make the packet
available to all new commissioners.
Mr. Oquist stated this was discussed several years at
Planning Commission. In fact, staff had done some
research and had some copies of fold-out brochures from
other communities on their commissions' structures. He
stated he would like to see Fridley do something similar.
It could be available at the Municipal Center for
citizens interested in serving on a commission.
Ms. Jackson stated it would also be helpful for
Commission members to have some on hand to give out to
people who might be interested in serving on a
commission.
Mr. Oquist stated it might be worthwhile to contact a
couple of other communities to see what they are doing.
Ms. Sherek suggested two cities to contact as far as
Human Resources are Roseville and Bloomington.
Ms. Sherek stated this item should be put on the August
agenda fc�r discussion.

:1. NEW BUSINESS•
a. Commons Park Petition
Mr. Kirk stated that he and Mr. Volkman have received
telephone calls from the residents close to the northern
end of Commons Park (63rd Avenue and 7th Street)
regarding the tennis court lights on the northern end of
the park. There is a lot of concern about the tennis
court lights being on too late at night.
PARRS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, JIINE 5. 1989 PAGE 2
Mr. Kirk stated one of the residents started a petition,
and the petition included in the agenda packet stated:
"The undersigned petition that public tennis court lights
be turned off no later than 10:00 p.m."
Mr. Kirk stated normally tennis court lights in the City
parks are turned off at 10:30-11:00 p.m. He stated staff
does not think it is worthwhile to insist that the lights
be left on until 10:30 p.m. when there are six tennis
courts at the Middle School only 200 yards away that are
lit until 11:00 p.m.
MOTION by Mr. Gargaro, seconded by Mr. Young, that the
lights on the north end of Commons Park be shut off at
10:00 p.m. starting immediately.
OPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON RONDRICR
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
b. Request from Mr. & Mrs. Pettis
Mr. Kirk stated Mr. & Mrs. Pettis' property is adjacent
to Summit Square Park. Summit Square Park is divided.
On one side are the tot lot area and basketball court,
and on the other side are the tennis courts and small
open play area. Mr. & Mrs. Pettis' property goes between
the two parks and is adjacent to the playground
equipment.
Mr. Kirk stated the Pettis' had a wooden privacy fence
they had to tear down because it was in disrepair. They
claim that not only was the fence damaged by the weather,
but also by children climbing over it. They are
requesting that the City help pay for a new semi-privacy
fence which will cost $750 in materials alone. The
Pettis' are willing to put up the fence and maintain it.
Mr. Kirk stated that some years ago, the City had a
practice whereby the City would pay for one-half of a 4
ft. chain link fence for any property bordering the park.
As far as he knew, those kinds of requests were
automatically approved by the Commission; however, it has
been 6-8 years since the last request.
Mr. Kirk stated that since that time, the City has gone
into some new budgeting practices and money is not
budgeted to do this type of thing.
Mr. Kirk stated that along Summit Square Park, there is
a hodge-podge of fences.
pARRB AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, JIINE 5, 1989 PAGE 3
Mr. Gargaro asked if there is any flexibility in the
budget.
Mr. Volkman stated that with the old budgeting system,
they could move monies around; but not with the new
budgeting system.
Mr. Kirk stated the money in the budget now is earmarked
for certain projects.
Mr. Kirk stated he is concerned about setting a precedent
if the Commission should recommend approval of this
request. There was a precedent a number of years ago,
but there has not been a request for 6-8 years.
Mr. Kirk stated he was sure the reason the City paid for
half of the chain link fence was because chain link
fences are more durable and they could get a uniformity
of fencing around the parks.
Mr. Kondrick stated it is true that the City should be
trying to have uniformity around the parks, but everyone
knows that a chain link fence is not much of a privacy
fence. The thing that bothered him is that they have had
these kinds of requests before, and they have approved
them. He realized times change, and the Commission can
change its policy, but can the Commission change its
policy now after having received this request?
Mr. Young stated he wished the City had been informed by
the property owners before the fence was torn down to see
if the fence could have been repaired. Maybe a new fence
was not needed.
Ms. Schreiner stated a wooden privacy fence is certainly
not going to be as durable as the chain link fence.
Mr. Gargaro stated the Commission has to take the
property owners' word that the fence was damaged by
children in the park.
Mr. Kondrick stated if it has been a policy in the past
that the City will pay one-half of a 4 ft. chain link
fence, then what grounds did the Commission have to deny
the property owners a durable fence? He felt they had
to act on this request, and then do something about the
past policy.
Mr. Kirk stated staff could research the minutes and find
out when fences were granted in the past.
`. ,
PARRS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETZNG, JIINE 5, 1989 PAGE 4
Mr. Gargaro stated that if they do agree with this
request, do they make the recommendation to the City
Council?
Mr. Kirk stated the Commission would recommend to the
City Council that monies be expended for 50� of the
installation of a chain link fence or privacy fence. If
it is done this year, then it will take the switching of
some priorities. If it is to be done next year, then it
will have to be put into the budget right away as the
budgeting process will soon be over.
Ms. Schreiner stated she is concerned that the privacy
fence is very expensive, much more expensive than a chain
link fence.
Mr. Volkman stated he believed the fence policy was that
the City would pay for one-half the cost of a� ft. chain
link fence only, and the property owners could then
either have the chain link fence installed or a wooden
fence, but the City only paid for one-half the cost of
the chain link fence.
MOTION by Mr. Young, seconded by Mr. Gargaro, to
recommend to City Council the expenditure of one-half
the cost of the fencing and installation of a 4 ft. chain
link fence along park property for Mr. and Mrs. Del
Pettis of 5176 Hughes Avenue N.E.
Ms. Schreiner stated Mr. Kirk had stated there is already
a hodge-podge of fencing along Summit Square Park. For
example, if these people want to put in a purple fence,
will the City let them do that?
Mr. Vollanan stated the property owners can put up any
kind of fence they want, but if it is not a chain link
fence, then they will not receive any monies from the
City.
Mr. Kirk stated the durability of the fence was really
his greatest concern. If it is a wooden fence, it could
be broken down again by children climbing on it.
The Commissioners agreed with Mr. Volkman, that if the
property owners do not want to put up a chain link fence,
then the City will not share in the cost of the fencing.
MOTION TO AMEND by Mr. Young, seconded by Mr. Gargaro,
to recommend to City Council the expenditure of one-half
the cost of the fencing and installation of a 4 ft. chain
link fence along park property for Mr. and Mrs. Del
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, JIINE 5, 1989 PAGE 5
Pettis of 5176 Hughes Avenue N.E.; however, if Mr. and
Mrs. Pettis do not put up a chain link fence, then the
City will not share in the cost of the fencing.
IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON RONDRICR
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
Mr. Kondrick stated now the Commission members have to
decide if they want to continue with this policy or
discuss a new policy.
Ms. Schreiner suggested the Commission put a moratorium
on all fencing requests until the Commission has had an
opportunity to discuss this and formulate a new policy.
Mr. Kondrick stated he liked the idea of a moratorium.
Ms. Schreiner stated the real question is: Do people
want chain link fencing around their parks? The
Commission has to discuss what they want to do.
Mr. Kirk stated they also have to wait and see if the
Council even approves this reguest.
MOTION by Ms. Schreiner, seconded by Mr. Gargaro, to
place a moratorium on any fence requests until the
September meeting when the Commissioners will discuss
this and formulate a new policy.

3. OLD BUSINESS•
a. Concession Aqreement at Moore Lake
Mr. Kirk stated that per the Commission's direction at
the last meeting and following the guidance of the City
Attorney, the City put out quotations for the concession
at Moore Lake. He stated four quotations were sent out
and they received two back. One was from Lloyd Ackert
from Bluebell and one was from Lowell DeMars from Paddy
Wagon Concessions, who has operated the concession at
Spring Lake in Spring Lake Park for 3-4 years.
Mr. Kirk stated Bluebell quoted $515 for the summer (June
10-August 15� and Mr. DeMars quoted $1,000 or 10$ of the
gross sales, whichever is higher.
Mr. Kirk stated this is an information item only. The
City has accepted the quote from Mr. DeMars. They are
